Cyril doesn’t like old people, which is a shame, because he is one. When he learns his estranged granddaughter, Lily, has her big break with her thrash metal band, Abscess, he and his octogenarian friend Neville are determined to show up and support her. Neither of them will ever be the same again.

The rapport these two have really carries things to a whole new level. Balls Falls will never be the same.
These two are part of a group of Fringe preformer who I will always make an effort to see. What a Delightful show, very funny!
AWOL is a masterpiece. Cleverly written, funny, full of heart and absolutely charming.
The 2 British guys play multiple characters with ease. It’s fast-paced and hilarious. Highly recommended.
This was fantastic! The guys are so good at jumping into multiple characters and it was hilarious!!
Sharp, insightful and very funny.
AWOL was an eye opening play about being old and badass! I cant wait to escape my care home, go to a metal show, and empty my catheter with burly strangers, all to support my grand-child’s passion for music. In all seriousness, both actors had great line delivery and comedic chemistry. I was surprised there were only 2 actors playing all the roles, and they handled it with such fun. The older(?) person that accompanied me said the show “made us old people feel young”. Definitely a hoot
This is one of those plays. These players are witty, thought out and carefree. We had a wonderful time and I’m sure they did to.
Wow!! Such a wonderful story with a brilliantly unique method of narrative. I could hardly believe it was only the two of them on stage at a time. Has that heart warming sense of humour thats funny to all, and consistently impressive.
