Summary note

In ancient times, tribal women went alone to caves during menopause. Today, the 50 million menopausal women in America turn to cheery self-help books. As for Loh and her female friends, they are determined not to go quietly into their sixth decade, but instead opt for a desert festival of debauchery and half-nude stoners. Based on her acclaimed memoir of the same title that Booklist calls 'hilarious, comforting and enlightening', Loh's play is a hilarious, provocative, often moving consideration of what it is to be a woman in a society that values and reveres youth.
