Performance in English
vienna theatre project returns to Theater Drachengasse with this Austrian premiere in English, a richly layered, bittersweet dramedy from award-winning playwright Horovitz – a quietly compelling tale of inheritance, identity, and the unresolved echoes of the past.
When down-on-his-luck Mathias Gold arrives in Vienna to claim the fabulous apartment he’s inherited from his estranged father, he’s thrilled, and dreams of 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 complete strangers can alter the course of our lives forever.
It reminds us that life doesn’t stop surprising us whatever age we are.
