Maxine, a feisty, bitter Alzheimer’s victim, doesn’t want to move into a nursing facility. But when she meets Joe, a widower who shares her love for dance, her outlook begins to change. Although the two clash when lucid, their hazy memories overlap, and they begin an affair that rejuvenates and fulfils them. But can these lovers, played simultaneously by an elderly twosome and a young vivacious couple stay together despite their families’ wishes and their fading vitality?
Tinahely Variety Group was established in 1993 and reached the All-Ireland 1-Act Finals with The Typist in 2005 and A Galway Girl in 2010. They returned to the festival circuit with a 3-Act play, Eclipsed, in 2019 and Juno and the Paycock in 2020. Over the last few years, they have been performing locally with Little Gem, The Country Boy and a very successful variety show. In 2024 they were delighted to reach the All-Ireland Confined Finals with Thy Will Be Done by Michael Carey, marking a proud and significant achievement in their ongoing drama journey. For the 2026 circuit they have welcomed newcomers to the stage and look forward to bringing Moonglow to the stage and making memories.
