WHEN an agony aunt reaches 60, she can lie like a trooper, jump off a bridge... or take to the stage.
Virginia Ironside is an agony columnist for the Independent and writes a column for the Oldie – and she also performs her own one-woman show, Growing Old Disgracefully.
The show arose from her experience of performing at literary festivals to publicise her book, No! I Don’t Want to Join a Bookclub!. Now, a few years later, her new book has come out, No! I Don’t Need Reading Glasses!, and she’s still on the road.
In her show, which will be at the Arts Centre, in Devizes Road at 2pm on Wednesday, March 19, she explains why unlimited free drugs, fun funerals, grandchildren and sex – or, even better, no sex – make the 60s the time of your life.
