Trestle

by Stewart Pringle directed by Matthew Parker produced by Parker Graham

“We’re not here forever. You’ve got to take a chance from time to time. Sometimes you’ve got to see something you like and grab hold. Don’t let it go.”

Harry feels like life is beginning to tick down, his autumn years spent quietly caring for the community he loves. Denise thinks life begins in retirement and she’s dancing like she’s still at high school. When their paths cross unexpectedly at the village hall, their understanding of the time they have left changes irrevocably.

Trestle is a warm hearted, funny and moving comic drama about two retired people brought together each week and begin to share their lives, loves, hopes… and dealing with a trestle table.

Winner of the 2017 Papatango New Writing Prize, Trestle is written by Stewart Pringle (RSC, Royal Court, National Theatre Studio). The 2021 production, directed by multi award winner Matthew Parker (Best Director OFFIE Awards 2023), garnered four OFFIE Award nominations including Best Production and was a Finalist at The London Pub Theatre Awards. New theatre company Parker Graham are excited to revive Trestle at The Jack Studio Theatre in 2025, once more under the direction of Matthew Parker.
