After Forty

About the Play

Life begins after forty… As though it wants revenge for everything abandoned and postponed… As long as you find your soulmate… As long as the light inside you never goes out…

Two elderly hypochondriacs… Mehveş and Refik… Every day a different part of them demands attention… Their hearts most of all…

The two cantankerous elders meet in a doctor’s office. An acquaintance that begins with an argument quickly becomes a great, passionate love. Their illnesses fade, replaced by excitement and happiness. But for their children, Güneş and Faik, the situation is a complete disgrace. Focused only on their careers and uninterested in love, the children fiercely oppose the growing closeness and become furious. They try everything to keep the pair apart but fail. With a brilliant plan devised by their doctor Gülşen, the two wild lovers fool their children and take a step toward marriage…

But the wedding will not be quite so easy…
