From the ensemble who brought you Ballad of the Pale Fisherman, Red Resurrected, and Ash Land comes Transatlantic Love Affair’s 2013 Fringe Festival hit, These Old Shoes. Inspired by stories from their own families, the richness that comes with age, and a lifetime of memory and experience. Surrounded by moving boxes and a grandfather clock, an old man is learning to say goodbye as the time approaches to leave his life-long home for a "retirement community." Brimming with humor and heart, this story of second chances follows the bread crumb trail of memory in hopes of finding something that was once lost.
