About the Audiobook

Super Seniors – A Defiant Sprint Toward Reinvention and Belonging

In Super Seniors, three lifelong friends in their seventies—Agnes, Kirsten, and Marie—refuse to be sidelined by ageist assumptions. When their flashy young fitness instructor abruptly leaves to pursue stardom, the trio is left reeling, having been dismissed as “saggy seniors.” Rather than quit, they secretly continue their workouts in the village hall, fuelled by determination and defiance. Together, they make a bold pact: they'll enter the community’s upcoming charity 5K.

As their training intensifies—via squats, circuits, and dodgy smoothies—their personal lives begin to shift. Widow Marie rediscovers romantic possibility. Kirsten grows suspicious of her husband's sudden enthusiasm for golf. Agnes, ever pragmatic, hides a stirring vision for late-life entrepreneurship. Through moments of laughter, heartbreak, and hopeful reinvention, the friends navigate buried memories and a culture that’s quick to overlook them.

Their journey becomes not only physical but profoundly emotional, revealing that transformation isn’t limited by age—it’s inspired by it. With crackling wit and deep empathy, this drama celebrates the enduring bonds between women who dare to rewrite their own stories.

Bonus Content: Includes an exclusive interview with playwright Fiona Black, exploring her creative inspirations, her portrayal of older characters, and her reflections on ageing with flair.

A warm, funny, and spirited audio drama about friendship, second chances, and the unexpected joy of growing bolder—not just older.
