The Dating Game
written and directed by Alan Booty
presented by Pogo Theatre
Witty, Thought-provoking, Emotional
Roger is 70. Ruby is 60.
Both are single. Both have their own reasons for trying out a dating app for seniors.
Ruby is expected to care for her aged and difficult mother and seeks escape.
Roger cares for his dying father, who wants his son to find someone special before he dies.
He is witty, which she likes.
She is feisty, which he likes.
What could go wrong?
As more doors in their lives open, questions arise: Should she? Did he? What if … ?
But when Ruby’s younger sister feeds her some information from Roger’s past, it throws a huge spanner in the works.
