April’s Featured Event
Meet Parveen. 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.
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!
Parveen, played by the talented, Madiha Ansari, is a relatable character who embodies the everyday struggles experienced by many women navigating the menopausal journey. Parveen grapples with a myriad of symptoms – from night sweats to forgetfulness – as she tries to maintain a sense of self amid the changes.
“Completely brilliant, totally relatable and absolutely essential. Entertaining and delivered an important message for everyone not just menopausal women. We are ALL Parveen.”
Friargate Theatre 6th April 2024. 7.30pm.
Tickets £12 + booking fee. Concessions £10 + booking fee.
