Your life from the day you turn twenty-five through to your death. All the chances you get to change course and all the things you leave unsaid.Inspired by interviews with hospice workers, conversations with mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling is a gripping story that wrestles with the glorious and melancholy uncertainties of human life. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret, it's an uplifting exploration of chance, morality and living with verve.First performed at Summerhall during the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Haley McGee's one-person play was produced by Soho Theatre and directed by Adam Brace. Each performance was shaped by random selections made by the audience. This published edition, illustrated by Jason Logan, contains the full text of the play and offers readers a complete experience, as well as a blueprint for future performances.

Haley McGee was born and raised in Canada, where she worked as an actor and theatremaker for a decade before relocating to the UK. Her sell-out play The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale became a successful book of the same name in 2021.
