Hot Flashes, The Menopause Monologues is a play by Helena Jevons based on her conversations with over 50 women about their experiences and anecdotes of menopause. In turn moving and side-splitting, the performance showcases 10 of the monologues from the first book of menopause monologues. The performance will share twelve of the first 48 monologues published in The Menopause Monologues.
