A couple of years ago, I was taken by news reports of older people participating in the Extinction Rebellion protests. I was quite inspired by these stories and was left in awe of the potential sacrifice that some of these people were making. I was also feeling guilty for not having the courage to join the rebellion and find my place on the barricades. On the basis that we all have to do what we can, however small, I wrote a monologue about an older lady who decided that she would protest.
