Kendal Acts Up

Out this summer

Disaffected, broke, cynical, 44-year-old Kendal Tudge has just received a call from the warden of the old people’s home, Jurassic Court: her sole relative Uncle Clem has died.

She dashes to sleepy Dorset with all her prejudices against the provincial and the elderly stacked in her scruffy backpack. But, Bingo! she’s inherited Clem’s apartment.

Within days she’s enjoying clean air, three meals a day and Gary the handsome warden. All for free! Why not stay?

Trouble is you have to be over sixty.

So begins Kendal’s quixotic, complicated, funny seaside odyssey of self-discovery and … subterfuge (yes, she pretends to be older!)

A comedy about growing up, honesty, friendship and what it is to age.
