"...An exploration of connection, memory, and reconnection, Transatlantic Love Affair's production These Old Shoes offers both an intriguing physical performance and a touchingly poignant emotional exploration. The ensemble cast transitions between the main setting of a retirement community and the lives and careers of its aging inhabitants through one character's transition from his home of several decades to a new home of peers. The stories he shares during this process help to reestablish his relationship with his granddaughter."
