This show written by Colleen Brow, at Studio 16, in the beginning felt like a very TEDtalk or radio show feel to it, (Colleen Also has done radio for CBC, so it makes sense she has the voice and presence of a radio host) Colleen had good presence and well-spoken, which in theatre feels out of place somehow? It didn’t feel like theatre. It felt very polished and professional, which for a fringe show, seemed odd and different, good different, yes, but still strange. The material and subject was not in my realm, as it was about getting older and being at their midlife point as a woman, who is married and has children, and I’m a queer two-spirited woman, who doesn’t ever want children and doesn’t relate to the whole Uterus=woman. But as most shows, they write what they know and it was done well. It had some very funny somewhat relatable jokes, but a lot fell for me simply because of age gap and experiences. The one thing I really related to was using laughter to get through tough times, I definitely enjoyed the openness of artists and being vulnerable while also being lighthearted and playful about life and death. ~ reviewed by Michelle Williams

I’ve been waiting to see what someone else thought of this show as even though I’m in my mid forties and although I don’t have children many of my friends do however I too struggled to connect with this story. Granted many audience members laughed and seemed to enjoy and even one older gentleman I spoke to said he found it humorous. Maybe indeed it just comes down to demographic. I do agree that it was presented well. Almost too well. 30/10/2022 14:21:46
