GRUMPY
OLD WOMEN LIVE -
Wed 31st May - Opera House |
Have you reached that certain age. Are you more likely to
shake your rolling pin than your booty. Are you a little
bit hot a little bit hairy. Is there stuff youd like to
get off your saggy old chest. Then join us for a live grump
fest. Jenny Eclair self appointed form captain of grumpy
old women hosts an orgy of middle aged mayhem 90 minutes
of theatrical HRT with not a thong in sight. Inspired by
the ratings busting BBC 2 series and best selling Grumpy
old Women handbook Grumpy Old women Live is a celebration
of the pre peri and post menopausal female condition. Don't
forget your bifocals. No heckling but `tutting` allowed.
Also starring Linda Robson (Birds of a
Feather, Vagina Monologues) and Dillie Keane
(Facinating Aida).
