The Old Couple

Recommended by

  • Gracie Goldstein: The Old Couple

    Two elderly refugees disagree on where they want to die. Tennis, church, and drinking are involved. Luka somehow knows what tortures the minds of the older generation. His writing is rich and beautiful, his world-weary characters, always surprising.

    This sharp play about two older Ukrainians, living now in Germany, will enlighten you, make you laugh, and open your heart. The language is stunning. The play is filled with surprises. Two great roles for older actors. Highly recommended.

  • Morey Norkin: The Old Couple

    A very touching story of an older Ukrainian couple now refugees in Germany. When can they return home? Or will Germany now be home? They each have their own method of coping. Beautiful monologues for both characters. Excellent work from Luka Ivanov.
