So Young
Raw Material & Traverse Theatre Company in association with Citizens Theatre presents So Young, both touching and funny, it's a story about coming back together after time apart.
About So Young
When Milo invites his two best friends Davie and Liane around for a takeaway to meet his new girlfriend, it promises to be a great night reconnecting. They delve into the past and swap the same old stories they’ve been through a thousand times before; the night becomes more about those absent than present. Remembering who they have lost and who they were, or thought they were.
From the celebrated writer of The Sherrif of Kalamaki, winner of Best Play at the CATS Awards 2024, and previous Citz show, Fever Dream: Southside, Douglas Maxwell’s So Young sees an innocuous evening slide into ruin as old friends face the challenges of middle age, growing apart and losing those close to them – whether that’s to the grave, or to London.
So Young won a Fringe First award in 2024.
