About the show

A Cathedral city in England, 1935.

Three elderly women live in uneasy proximity in a gloomy house eking out their days on their limited savings.

Their fragile lives seem uneventful, but beneath the surface, obsession, malice and greed fester, culminating in a shocking outcome…

Adapted from Hugh Walpole’s classic 1924 novel by Rodney Ackland, the acclaimed writer of Absolute Hell, The Old Ladies is a devastating dark psychological drama: a powerful study of fear and isolation amongst those society has forgotten.
