Hot Flashes - The Menopause Monologues

About

Join us for the world premier of Hot Flashes - The Menopause Monologues at Ironworks studios on xx/xx/xxxx.
Join us for Hot Flashes, The Menopause Monologues is a play by Helena Jevons based on her conversations with over 50 women about their experiences and anecdotes of menopause.

In turn moving and side-splitting, the performance showcases 10 of the monologues from the first book of menopause monologues.

The performance will share ten of the first 32 monologues published in The Menopause Monologues Volume 1.

Factually based, but fictionally enhanced meet:-

Sarah - a retired maths teacher trying to make things add up
Anna - reflecting on her childhood viewing of Snow White
Beverley - a black hairdresser with a salon full of opinions
Patricia - just trying to raise money for donkeys for the deaf
Sandy - wanting to experiment sexually, much to her husband's surprise
Aggie - a church florist driven to take to the pulpit
Amanda - 26, and facing an unexpected future as all her friends start planning families
Cerys - finally a woman and thwarted by lacking post-Brexit hormone supplies

PLUS: two bonus monologues which will change nightly.

And, in the process, understand a bit more about the journey that menopause takes women on.

From bloating and disappearing waistlines, weightlifting to ward off osteoporosis, brain fog robbing us of words in board meetings, becoming sex-crazed or sex-indifferent, wrinkles & supplements, and shouting at strangers in Tesco, it is, as they say, a journey.
