A Play, A Pie and A Pint: Making Way
Overview
Making Way
Produced by A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Òran Mór, co-presented with Northern Stage and Assembly Theatre
Written by John Maley
Directed by Emma Roxburgh
“This beats vitamins and Viagra any day of the week. This was the sweet chocolate fountain of youth.”
Scientists have discovered the elixir of youth. Whilst the older generation revel in their rejuvenated bodies, the young are leeched of their priceless blood and forced to fight for their future.
A weary widower is injected with this new lease of life – but discovers that immortality is not all that it’s cracked up to be, and there are severe costs for his generation refusing to give way.
Making Way by John Maley is a comic and poignant tale of morality and misunderstanding, offering a fresh contemporary take on the vampire myth.
