SwanSong
by Nathan Evans
Description
A gentleman called Joan lands in a subdued, suburban care home like a colourful, combustible cocktail. A veteran of Gay Lib, he dons battle dress and seeks an ally in the young, gay but disappointingly conventional care assistant Craig for his assault on the heteronormativity of the care system. Then, in this most unlikely of settings, Joan is offered love by a gentleman called Jim…
This bittersweet play explores issues surrounding care and LGBT elders. It premiered at King's Head Theatre in 2017, was funded by the Arts Council in 2018 and shortlisted for the Carlo Annoni Playwrighting Prize 2020.

“Side-splittingly funny and achingly romantic. A play about ageing disgracefully that’s ferociously full of life.”
—RIKKI BEADLE-BLAIR
