Outdated

Picture this. You are heading towards middle age, single, possibly emotionally fragile, nervous as hell at the prospect of a relationship of the intimate kind, but nevertheless, you dive into the dating scene, which is full of, er, shall we say, interesting encounters.

Olivia and Matt, two hapless souls, inhabit the Ensemble Theatre’s new production, Outdated, taking the audience on a neurotic fun-filled romp inside mid-40s dating land, and it ain’t boring.  

If Matt and Olivia follow a few golden rules, they should be on the path to dating bliss. But do they actually have anything in common, or is this just another of those awkward dating blunders we all wish we could forget?

Written and directed by Ensemble Theatre Artistic Director Mark Kilmurry with Rachel Gordon (The Norman Conquests) and Yalin Ozucelik (The Norman Conquests), Outdated is a bittersweet comedy about dating, dating and, er, dating. Swipe right. Or is it left…?

Olivia and Matt, aka Rachel Gordon and Yalin Ozucelik remind the audience how fun physical comedy can be when in the hands of professionals. The jogging scene is genius…that is all I’m saying. Well, the bed scene is hilarious, memorable for all the right reasons.

Do yourself a favour, by a ticket – Outdated, showing till 17 April.
