You are cordially invited to Jim & Barb’s Golden Anniversary. Fifty years of love and companionship. But seriously - put yourself in their shoes; after 50 years of marriage, can you imagine how much simmering resentment is about to boil over into deadly intent? From the creators of the multi award winning “Otto & Astrid – Die Roten Punkte” comes a brand-new comedy from Clare Bartholomew & Daniel Tobias, directed by Peter Houghton.
At Jim & Barb’s party, expect the unexpected, and leave your preconceptions at the door – for this is no ordinary elderly couple. The Anniversary is physical comedy house party from hell! Jim & Barb’s dreams for the perfect celebration of their love, quickly fall away as they face the reality of a semi-century together – join them in their absurd and hilarious tailspin into an ultimately disappointing descent into the abyss of unfulfilled dreams.
“Picture TV stars Magda Szubanski and Glenn Robbins putting a personal spin on Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, Jean-Paul Sartre No Exit, Slava’s Snow Show by Slava Polunin, Jimmie Chinn’s A Different Way Home, or anything similarly absurdist, and you’ll get the idea.” - Theatre People
