If this is life in a retirement village, sign me up now! Four women talk, sing and make balloon… err… ‘shapes’ through a series of sketches about life after a certain age, when the grown-up children tell you through gritted teeth just how much they want you to move in with them and their families.

Starting with a bold song replacing ‘YMCA’ with ‘YOLO’, the foursome is then introduced as distinct characters in the close-knit village. There’s the compliant one, volunteering for everything; the self-funded retiree who lets you know it at every opportunity; the one dressed head to toe in animal print, who is determined not to grow up; and the newcomer, looking around the familiar furniture in a newer, smaller living space.

You’ll discover tips for cheaper gardening, how to be an award-winning volunteer, and be taught shameless explanations of the birds and bees. It’s always hilarious and whilst sometimes naughty, it’s never in bad taste. One-liners about the challenges of getting older abound, and it’s relatable whether you have a nan in such a village or you’re a resident yourself.

It’s clever writing, with great performances from four women who have decades of experience on and behind the stages around Adelaide. Get your tickets quick though: the one-off show at Marion is sold out and those at Holden Street are going quickly.
