She was only forty five. So young.Tonight he has invited his two oldest pals, Davie and Liane, to come round and drink some wine, listen to some tunes and reminisce about the olden days.And there’s something else… He wants them to meet the new love of his life. Her name is Greta. They met online. And she’s twenty years old.From the celebrated writer of Decky Does a Bronco and I Can Go Anywhere, Douglas Maxwell’s So Young sees an innocuous evening slide towards ruin as old friends face the challenges of middle age… the pull of the past… and the promise of the future.This edition was published to coincide with the TravFest24 run at Edinburgh’s Traverse Theatre in August 2024.
