Mid Life

From 29th May 2019
Aldeburgh Festival 2019

Hold tight. There’s a change coming.

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 midlife women – unpaid carers, up-all-nighters, emotional load bearers, shoulders to cry on, school-runners and piece-picker-uppers. Join them as they find a way through the loss, mess, despair, frustration, freedom, joy and possibility of the middle years.

Details: Tue 12 September, 7pm at Church Hall

Access is no optional add-on for Mid Life, but an extra layer of wit, pathos and enjoyment built in to the fabric of the play. All performances are both BSL interpreted and audio-described for the benefit and entertainment of all audiences.

Running time: 1h 20mins

“What a great night! Was really enjoyable and excellent to hear menopause being talked about so openly from the stage.”

“Thank you so much for today. It was a very cathartic morning, just to hear your stories, and to feel like there was hope at the end of this crazy mid life tunnel”
