When death-obsessed emo kid Harold, bored of staging his own suicide, meets cheerful, free-spirited Maude, an 80-year-old with a zest for life, thus is born an iconic odd couple. Maude teaches Harold to loosen up and enjoy each day, and as they flout authority and plan elaborate hijinks, they fall in love. But this is no seedy age gap romance – it’s a heartwarming tearjerker set to Cat Stevens that will have you leaving the theatre with a new lease on life. – Lina Fisher
