Meet Parveen
Parveen is 45 or 46 (she can’t remember which) sweaty, fed up and gets regular headaches, welcome to the menopause, Parveen.
Suitable for Age 16 +
Parveen is 45 or 46 (she can’t remember which) sweaty, fed up, gets regular headaches and wears pyjamas and knickers in bed. Welcome to the Menopause, Parveen.
Join Falling Stars Theatre (story tellers that connect, energise and inspire) for a play/ post show discussion exploring the triumphs and tribulations of getting older.
A week in the life of Parveen examines how the menopause affects a women’s world; 3am showers, angry about nothing, confused, confused why confused, toilet trips, forgetting that important word, battling teenagers when all you want to do is hide, high sex drive (yes you heard me right) and just wanting to stay YOU!
This play will stimulate thoughts, questions, responses (we hope growth will be inevitable) for women beginning or not yet started their menopause journey, for partners who are not sure what’s going on and for those menopausal women who feel isolated, this story is yours.
Warnings: Mild swearing
REVIEWS
The Reviewers Hub (for Recall)
'Falling Stars Theatre’s Recall is fringe theatre as it should be, a perfect balance of playfulness and pathos that never veers into pretentiousness.'
Audience Reviews
