Songs and anecdotes will feature in a new light-hearted show at the Lichfield Garrick about growing older.

Terence Blacker will bring The Shock of the Old to the city theatre on 7th October.

A spokesperson said:

> “In his funny and perceptive new show, Terence faces up to the joys and pains of the passing years with songs, quotes, and anecdotes.  
>  
> “It’s as if Victor Meldrew met Tom Lehrer for a none-too-serious debate about the meaning of life.  
>  
> “The result is a spirit-lifting and timely celebration of the art of not taking the ageing process lying down – about being, in the words of one of Terence’s songs, ‘not quite done’.  
>  
> “Does The Shock of the Old finally reveal the great secret of the coming of age? Possibly not, but Terence Blacker shares a world of fun, warmth and wisdom looking for it. “  
>  
> Lichfield Garrick spokesperson
