Rehearsals of After All These Years by Giles Cole

After All These Years: Giles Cole brings his ‘outstanding show’ to Ventnor Fringe Festival

Hot on the heels of being given the accolade of ‘Outstanding Show’ at the Brighton Fringe, Giles Cole’s new comedy-drama, featuring Isle of Wight actor, director and producer Graham Pountney, comes to Ventnor Fringe Festival.

Theatre Reviva! and Close Quarter Productions in association with Holofcener Ltd, tour ‘After All These Years’ on the Isle of Wight in July.

“A superb play!”

Simon Jenner, Fringe Review

Three linked short plays
Graham last presented Summer Love on the Island in 2019 and now follows it with this delightful show. His professional theatre company visits the Island with a play that offers fun, laughs, whimsy, pathos and intrigue in three 30 minute acts.

Three linked short plays, Weatherman, Still Dancers and An Occasional Cup of Tea, can be seen in pairs or all together as one complete play: After All These Years.

Jenner: The finest premiere I’ve seen
The cumulative force of this new three-part, four-actor, comedy-drama , just 90 minutes long, is “the finest premiere I’ve seen in this Fringe” writes Simon Jenner.

The story will touch your heart, make you laugh and reminisce too. This company is bringing to the fore important things about the older generation.

“These plays afford opportunities for exclusively older actors to display their talents and experience – for that, if for no other reason, a trip down memory lane is worth considering.”
