Overall, it’s a wonderful journey to watch, a bit like The Canterbury Tales, as we follow these six characters with all their ups and downs, their laughs, their politics and sexual indiscretions – until a dramatic climax when Bill English, the Prime Minister is invited to open the new wing.

 Sian Davis, the director (in her 12^th production for Company Theatre) has designed the set with grass paths, bridges and waterfalls, to complete an idyllic, picturesque garden setting for residents to ramble.   

For Roger Hall, there's nothing retiring about retirement.

Last Legs is a black comedy about sex, death and politics with an irresistible appeal to the old and bold of heart.”
