Haley McGee's AGE IS A FEELING is Coming to Soho Theatre Walthamstow

Following sold out runs in Edinburgh and Soho, Age is a Feeling will return to London’s restored Soho Theatre Walthamstow for a strictly limited run from 5 – 7 March 2026,

Written and performed by Olivier Award nominee, Waltham Forest local Haley McGee, this never-the-same-twice show is a gripping story about how our relationship with mortality shapes the way we live.

Inspired by hospices, mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling wrestles with our endless chances to change course while we’re alive. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret. A call to seize our time.

Charting the seminal moments, rites of passage and turning points in an adult life - your life - from the day you turn 25 through to your death, Age is a Feeling celebrates the glorious and melancholy unknowability of human life.

Haley McGee said: “I started writing this show when I was 35, and now at 40, it’s taking on new meaning for me — even though I wrote it. I’m excited to share this deeper understanding of the material with audiences. I hope those seeing the show for the first time are enlivened by it, and those returning, like me, find new things inside it too.” 

Age is a Feeling premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, before transferring to the Soho Theatre in London for two sold-out, critically acclaimed runs in 2022 and 2023. It was nominated for an Olivier Award in 2023 and transferred to Soulpepper in Toronto in May 2024. The production won both a Fringe First Award and Lustrum Award in Edinburgh and the Toronto Theatre Critics Award. 

To date, translations of Age is a Feeling have been produced in China, Chile, Malta, Turkey, Brazil and Germany, each featuring a beloved local actress (so far, the youngest was 24 and the oldest was 56). Upcoming international productions are planned for India, Taiwan, Sweden and Poland.
