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 woman’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! This play will stimulate thoughts, questions, responses (we hope growth will be inevitable) for women beginning or not yet started their menopause journey, for partners who are not sure what’s going on and for those menopausal women who feel isolated, this story is yours.This performance takes place at Kala Sangam Arts Centre, St Peter’s House, 1 Forster Ct, Bradford BD1 4TY
