Title: Sex Please, We're Sixty

Presented By: BATS Theatre Company Inc.

Genre: Comedy / Farce

Synopsis: At the charming Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast, guests keep coming back... and not just for the quaint accommodations. Bud Davis—known affectionately (and scandalously) as "Bud the Stud"—believes these ladies return for his irresistible charm and silver-tongued allure. The no-nonsense owner, Mrs. Stancliffe, is having none of it—at least outwardly. Meanwhile, her sweet, long-suffering neighbour Henry, a retired chemist, has developed a libido-boosting pill for menopausal women that’s never been tested—until now. Cue mistaken identities, love triangles, and a whole lot of cheeky chaos in this wildly funny and bold comedy about aging, attraction, and affection.

Available Roles:

Bud Davis (70+): Frail-looking but surprisingly sprightly. Nicknamed “Bud the Stud,” he’s brash, flirty, chauvinistic—and oddly charming.
Mrs. Stancliffe (65+): No-nonsense owner of Rose Cottage. Proper, punctual, practical, and poised... with a secret yearning for more.
Henry Mitchell (60+): Retired chemist and perpetual suitor to Mrs. Stancliffe. Kind, tender, respectful—a true gentleman.
Victoria Ambrose (50+): Best-selling author of spicy romances. Intelligent, serious, secretly yearning for the passion she writes about.
Hillary Hudson (50+): Classy, articulate, and elegant. Former colleague of Henry. Smart and menopausal with refined taste.
Charmaine Beauregard (50+): From Sydney’s North Shore. Bold, bubbly, and driven by her very healthy libido. Vivacious and larger-than-life.
