How many movies or plays have explicitly focused on depicting the experience of going through menopause?
Name another disparity as wide as the one between how many people menopause affects — who doesn’t know someone who has or will deal with it? — and how little it’s been explored in art as a primary subject matter.
The taboo-conditioned may ask, “Who wants to watch something like that?”
But Samantha Bee’s new one-gal play is here to show us what this gap has been depriving us of. Listen to it for yourself when How to Survive Menopause, written and performed by Bee, hits Audible in the coming months.
