An older woman balancing one-legged on top of a zimmer frame and a younger woman visibly angry at her.

NOW AND THEN

"Brilliantly performed and full of heart - a hilarious intergenerational clash that will have you laughing out loud. This is a special show teeming with charm and divilment only Sôla and Regan could bring. Go, go, go!"

- Sadhbh Moriarty, writer

“Now and Then” is an unlikely friendship between social-media-obsessed-aerial-instamodel Pookie, played by (Lidija Sola), and no-nonsense hardy older lady, Nancy (Noelle Ní Riagáin). Featuring an 8 metre freestanding aerial rig, the show is a generational clash, filled with slapstick comedy, aerial acrobatics and a heartwarming story of connection in a digital world.“Now and Then” received the prestigious NEST Four Nations Award 2025, supporting its development, presentation and is ready to tour the world.
