Sometime in her 30s, the award-winning Canadian theatre actor and writer Haley McGee started thinking about death. Was she making the best use of her time on Earth? And could being more aware of death help her live life to the fullest? McGee sits down with Q's Tom Power to talk about her acclaimed new solo show, Age is a Feeling, which sets out to answer those questions.

Age is a Feeling is on now until June 23 at Toronto's Soulpepper Theatre. It's also available in book form through Playwrights Canada Press.
