Trestle by Stewart Pringle

A tender but truthful exploration of love and ageing, asking how we choose to live in the face of soaring life expectancies. Winner of the 2017 Papatango New Writing Prize.

'A tender and observant piece that's at once a tribute to the idea of community and a sensitive vision of the perils of isolation… a touching portrait of mature affection, quietly truthful about its rewards and difficulties'

* Evening Standard *

'Brimming with gentle humour and bursting with heart… the restraint and social realism of Pringle's writing lifts it above saccharine glibness, towards something far more elegiac and far richer dramatically.. a gently funny and genuinely adorable not-quite love story'

* The Stage *

'Wittily and cleverly written… it is closely and lovingly observed, creating a sense of these people and their lives'

* Whatsonstage.com *

'Offers a sympathetic view of a pair of senior citizens and suggests that age offers no immunity to passion… a gift to older actors'

* Guardian *
