Roberta lives alone with her cat Marbles. Old and increasingly in poor health she bumbles through her days with a somewhat perplexed good humor. Everyday mistakes are becoming more regular and it seems that old age is finally taking its toll. What future for souls like Roberta? This gentle comedy drama, directed by
Anna-Marie Ramm, addresses some of the issues facing the elderly in the UK today.
I must say, too, that the performance by
Abigail Hamilton as Roberta is top notch. If her face is familiar it may be you have seen her as Mrs Cosgrove in the James Corden vehicle One Chance or her numerous other appearances in British TV and film.
