About
Nigel Osner is a writer, performer and lyricist. In this show he takes a quizzical look at those no longer young.
There are certainly daunting realities and cruel setbacks! On the other hand there is more self-confidence and we might learn what’s best for ourselves. There’s a lot of humour but with a bitter sweet edge. Nigel illustrates his theme with original songs and stories by male and female characters. These include Gerald who is having a taxing night out in central London; a rich designer who falls for his hunky gardener; the man who ignores a wheelchair bound woman until he needs a wheelchair of his own; and the woman driven mad by her companion on a river cruise.
Melodies are by various composers, sometimes even by Nigel.

Nigel has performed the show at the Edinburgh and other Fringes, in many London venues and by request.
- 'Osner's characterisations are well drawn and excellently performed. The writing is clever with plenty of wit and humour even in the darker elements of his stories.’ The Musical Theatre Review
- Nigel is an excellent writer and, in each of the short scenes, he manages to bring real life to the character and the situation they find themselves in.' London Theatre 1
- ‘Witty, bitchy, achingly sad and, finally, strangely uplifting.' Broadway Baby
- ‘a beautiful piece of solo work’ Fringe Review
