Theatre
Mid Life
Diverse City presents:
Claire was the South East of England Disco Dancing Champion in 1982. Surely, she can’t be menopausal? Jacqui’s busy looking after the grandkids and keeping an eye on her ex-partner’s mum but there’s some stuff she needs to get off her chest. Karen lives alone by the sea. She’s a survivor.
These are menopausal women – unpaid carers, up-all-nighters, emotional load bearers, school-runners and piece-pickeruppers. Join them as they find a way through the loss, despair, frustration, freedom, joy and possibility of the middle years.
is needed now More than ever
Based on interviews with 50 women in Bristol experiencing menopause, this BSL-interpreted and Audio Described production is a rip-roaring exploration into one of life’s taboos.
Supported by Bristol Ferment.
Feb 12-15 (8pm plus Sat 15 3pm) & March 4-8 8pm, Bristol Old Vic Weston Studio, £12.
