Claire wants to perform a one-woman stand-up show called Mid Life in celebration of her 50th birthday. Claire is cool but maybe a bit frustrated. She works in human resources and is passionate about performing. She is always up for a laugh, does panto and was the 1982 Disco Dancing Champion of the Southeast of England.
Claire is giddily excited. However, her performance soon becomes subject to interruption. Audio describer Karen, BSL interpreter Jacqui and the after-party DJ she’s booked all have things they want to say. They want Claire to include their voices and experiences. And on top of all that, menopausal symptoms start to derail her performance.
