What: Think…LOOSE WOMEN meets WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

Money. Love. Control. Soap operas.
Botox. Jack Daniels. Chocolate. Flossing. Shoes!

Tricia, Olivia, Loreen, Fern and Norma have been the best of friends since school. Now, as they’re all poised to turn 50, one develops a drinking problem which leads to a disastrous intervention by her friends. The 5 of them find their lives changing in ways both hysterically funny and genuinely heartbreaking. Following on from the highly acclaimed TRUE LOVE LIES, Brad Fraser’s new play continues his blisteringly comic dissection of the way we live now.
