Dirty Old Women is an autobiographically based one-act play with elements of Cabaret and Sitcom.Two women in their early seventies decide to try their luck on a sex-positive dating site. Their aim is not to find life partners, but rather to enjoy some entertainment with perhaps a smattering of erotic in their “golden years”.
Jenny Simanowitz (“Wild Granny Jenny”) and Kathy Tanner (English Lovers) are friends and accomplices. The piece grew out of their real-life experiences.“When you*re old, you’ve got nothing more to lose” says Jenny. Kathy agrees. The openness with which they approach their encounters leads to stories which are hilarious, crazy ... and sometimes deeply moving.

"Das Programm ist eine Mischung aus spitzzüngigem Kabarett und Sitcom, ist autobiografisch geprägt und bricht mit dem gesellschaftlich vorherrschenden Bild älterer Frauen, das eine Grenze zu Lust und Erotik suggeriert. Außerdem holt es ebendiese auch endlich auf die Kabarettbühne. Dort tauchten sie bisher so gut wie gar nicht auf." (Der Standard)
