2016 – Act Your Age

The action takes place over a 24 hour period in a large house in a remote village. The house is a clinic that offers sanctuary, rest, relaxation and therapy to celebrities, but it has seen better days; it has debts, just two patients, and all the staff have walked out except for Pat who remains loyal to the beleaguered owner/manageress, Valerie.

Suddenly, there’s a chance of salvation. ‘Victoria’s agent rings. She is coming…right now! She will be checking in as ‘Mrs Smith’. She is expecting a well-run establishment and no publicity.

Meanwhile in the same village there’s an old people’s home run by Mrs Hewitt, a headmistress-like woman who allows her old folk few luxuries. And they are in crisis too. A bungling workman has been digging up the road and left the old people’s home without electricity or water…and the loos are backing up! Mrs Hewitt believes that the clinic is well run and leaves her old folk there while she and her staff look for new premises.

With the old folk pretending to be celebrities and Clinic staff, the arrival of furtive people checking in as patients, a middle-aged nymphomaniac and a D list celebrity desperate to be unmasked as an A-lister, chaos ensues.
