AGE IS A FEELING

written and performed by Haley McGee

Soho Theatre
2022 & 2023

Soulpepper, Toronto
2024

Inspired by hospices, mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling wrestles with our endless chances to change course while we’re alive. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret. A call to seize our time. Written and performed by Haley McGee, this never-the-same-twice show is a gripping story about how our relationship with mortality shapes the way we live. Charting the seminal moments, rites of passage and turning points in an adult life - your life - from the day you turn 25 through to your death, Age is a Feeling celebrates the glorious and melancholy unknowability of human life.

As breathtaking as it is moving
The Guardian ★★★★★

Olivier-nominated and Fringe First winning, Age is a Feeling premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 and Soho Theatre, playing two sold-out runs. It transferred to Soulpepper in Toronto in May 2024.
