What does it mean to be 17? To be young with the world at your feet or old before you've had a chance to live? Using the memories of people aged from 69 to 96, they recall life at that age, whenever and wherever that was. We journey through time to tell their stories and find the truths of that one elusive year. Bear Pit Theatre explores youth through the prism of age; these are tales of regret and joy, tricks of memory and nostalgia, and the transience of youth.
