From Nana Funk, the great-great-grandmother of good times, comes a heartfelt musical journey of exploration, inspired by real life events and stories.

“Nana’s comedic stylings evoke the warm-hearted but deadly-sharp observational style of Victoria Wood.” - North West End

Tough Old Bird explores how women are viewed in society as they have the absolute gall to get older! Have you ever noticed those adverts promising to ‘defy the effects of ageing’? Ooh Nana hates them. What about when we get old? Where’s the instruction manual? Who deems what is ‘acceptable behaviour’? What happens when your voice isn’t listened to, or you become slowly invisible? Join Nana as she asks the big questions! Ageing well doesn’t mean behaving yourself.

The performance takes place with the stunning Victorian Porch in the Atrium as its backdrop. The performance starts at 7:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm to allow patrons to explore the Museum in private before taking their unreserved seating.
