Carolann’s awakening is sudden and all consuming. She stumbles out of her super woman bubble to discover a crumbling marriage, a teenage daughter with whom she can’t communicate, and an overwhelming job, all while peri-menopause has a grip on her body.
She discovers her sexuality is fluid and soul music is the language of her soul. Hypnotic melodies, searing honesty and humour will take you on a journey of self-discovery with Carolann. A moving play about menopause and female sexuality.
