Age is a feeling - and you will feel it. You will feel it when you decide to lead an interesting life, beyond convention. When you want to do something, something important, something big - but what and how? You'll feel it when you sit at the doctor's with a fear of dying, who just smiles wearily and sends you home. When you drink too much and sleep too little - because: Life is short. When you wonder if you'll ever find the love of your life. When you learn that love is not unconditional. When strangers become friends and then strangers again. When your father grows old and you realize that you don't really know him and he doesn't really know you, and that this will never change. When it does change. You can't predict the future. But you will feel it rushing towards you.
Inspired by interviews with hospice workers, conversations with mystics and trips to the cemetery, Haley McGee writes the stories of a life from the day you turn 25 to the day you die. Not all stories are told at every performance - after all, who knows everything about a person? The result is an ever-changing evening about the eternal uncertainty of life, about our relationship to mortality, against regret and cynicism, full of wisdom and comfort for all those who wonder what their life will be like or what it could have been like.
