Denise thinks life
begins in retirement and she's dancing like she's still at high school.
When their paths cross at the village hall, their understanding of the
time they have left changes irrevocably. What do community, growing old,
and falling in love really mean? And who gets to decide anyway?In its

ageing, asking how we choose to live in the face of soaring life
expectancies. It won the 2017 Papatango New Writing Prize from over 1000

gone on to win BAFTAs and OffWestEnd Awards and premiere
worldwide.Trestle follows 2016 Papatango Prize winner Orca and 2015
winner Tomcat, both published by Nick Hern Books, in making its world
premiere at Southwark Playhouse, London.
