Casting Off - Pensioners have rights as
well as puffins
Philip Paris
Sunday 24 September, 2.00pm
Harbour Arts Centre
£5.00
Casting Off was described as ‘The Feel Good Book
of the Year’ in 2016. Based on the sell-out play of the
same name, it tells the story of residents in a Highland
care home. Although often hilarious, it’s also a story
of friendship, loyalty and sacrifice. Philip Paris talks
about producing the play and writing the novel, with
readings and a few laughs along the way.
