Details
This outrageous and dark comedy explores the pursuit of one's own happiness in a close up, candid look at the unfair, undeniable and really shit parts of the human condition that keep us together and tear us apart, probably at the same time.
"Dear God. Hi. Sorry about the last fifty years. Just checking in to say that it would be great if you could remind my husband that he has a penis. And a wife. With a vagina. That works. That's it. I don't think I'm asking for much. Thanks. Amen." Victoria Burnham is 50, post-menopausal and fed up. In a world where her husband's weeding of the garden takes priority over their sex life and her son's new, exciting life at University leaves her with sleepless nights and a lack of purpose, Victoria is barren, old and useless. Until she meets extroverted, confident, independent Meg. Meg invites Victoria into a world where anything is possible, where dreams may come, where men really do come - Mature Madams, a seedy sex hotline. But how long will Victoria enjoy this electrifying thrill before her history begins to leak back into her life? World Premiere. Running time: 1hr 55mins (inc. 15 minute interval)
