Haley McGee’s Age is a Feeling returns to Soho Theatre this February

Haley McGee’s Age is a Feeling is to return to Soho Theatre this February.

Following a previous run at the venue in the autumn as well as at Edinburgh Fringe the acclaimed piece will run from 14 February – 11 March 2023.

In a unique format that The Daily Mail called seriously smart and smarting storytelling, every performance, the audience chooses which storylines McGee performs, choosing six out of twelve story cards that take them on a journey through one person’s lifespan as it unfolds throughout the show.

The six remaining unheard stories are left untouched and discarded, as a poignant reminder of the things we may never know about even our closest friends. Depending on the audience’s choices, there are 180 different potential versions to be heard with different combinations of stories.

Described by The Times as the show that will give you a new lust for life, Age is a Feeling tells the story of one person’s life from their 25th birthday until the end. Inspired by real life interviews, the show explores the glorious and melancholy unknowability of human life, the joys and tragedies of getting older, and the sides of people we never get to know.

Age is a Feeling is an original Soho Theatre commission and production, directed and dramaturged by its Associate Director Adam Brace. It is brought to life by scenic designer Zoë Hurwitz and lighting designer Daniel Carter-Brennan.

David Luff, Soho’s Creative Director and Producer, said: “We are delighted to welcome back Haley McGee following a superb premiere presentation at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The power and beauty of her writing captivated audiences in Edinburgh and we can’t wait for her to bring this brilliant piece of theatre back to Soho Theatre.”
