When Olivia loses control at her fiftieth birthday party, her three best friends decide to intervene once and for all, much to the irritation of Olivia and her lover, Norma. But is she the only one battling a demon? Or do each of these women face an addiction of one kind or another? 5 @ 50 is a raw and darkly comedic portrayal of turning fifty in contemporary society, and of the friendships we can't live without. "Wickedly funny... proves that the still daring and laugh-out-loud funny writer Brad Fraser has not lost his golden touch.” - Whatsonstage.com "Hilariously explicit... each character is lovably ghastly.” - Daily Express "Enough rip-roaringly funny lines... to populate a satisfying sitcom” - The Stage "The dialogue... simmers, crackles and explodes with a pace that is seductive and irresistible... thought-provoking and funny. Highly entertaining.” - Liverpool Daily Post
