My Old Lady at Quannapowitt Players Theater

Mathias Gold is penniless and his rich, unloving father has died - - but some books and an apartment in Paris are all he's left his son. Mathias hopes to sell the luxe apartment, but there's a catch. It's inhabited by the 94-year-old Mathilde, and she retains lifetime-occupancy rights. A thoughtful, amusing drama with ingenious twists, My Old Lady recently was adapted into a film starring Maggie Smith and Kevin Kline. As the emotional layers are peeled back, this simple story reveals a touching center. See it at Reading's Quannapowitt Players Theater.
