Stewart Pringle’s concise two hander Trestle is a leisurely stroll of a play that discusses the realities of getting on and growing old. Harry (Gary Lilburn) is a shy retiree who occupies his time wrapped up in being chair of the Bullingham Improvement Committee whereas sprightly Zumba instructor Denise (Connie Walker) believes in grabbing every opportunity as it comes. They meet in the brief handover period between their respective groups gathering at the local community hall and the drama plays out with a precise awkward Britishness.
