Riding Lights Theatre Company have asked Growing Old Grace-fully to tell people about “SIMEON’S WATCH” – a family adventure before Christmas by Bridget Foreman.
Riding Lights have told us that Simeon’s Watch is an engaging new play for a family audience about… family. A delightful story about what growing old might mean, about being surprised, remembering love and discovering hope.
Leah keeps losing things. First it was her knitting, and now her father keeps wandering off. She frequently loses her temper and some days she thinks she’s losing her mind. Or is it her father Simeon who’s doing that? Staring out of the window, muttering about angels, waiting with unshakeable conviction for ‘God knows what’. It’s all a game to Leah’s daughter, which only makes things worse.
Something has to change.
As the nights draw in, Leah watches her father wind down and her daughter race ahead. She seems to be waiting too – but for what? And when the whole family is drawn to a starlit hillside, what more is to be lost and found?
The show is now booking for a national tour: October – December 2016 and your parish can book a performance now by contacting Beth on 01904 613000 or emailing beth@rltc.org .
