vienna theatre project returns to Theater Drachengasse with this Austrian Premiere, a richly layered, bittersweet dramedy by this award-winning playwright – a quietly compelling tale of inheritance, identity and the unresolved echoes of the past.
When down-on-his-luck Mathias Gold arrives in Paris to claim the fabulous apartment he’s inherited from his estranged father, he expects a fresh start. Instead, he discovers two mysterious women already living there – and finds himself thrust into an unexpected twist of fate.
As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, My Old Lady reveals a world of humour, heartbreak, and unforeseen connection – exploring what we carry, what we bury, and how strangers can alter the course of our lives.
It reminds us that life doesn’t stop surprising us – whatever age we are.
