With a stroppy 15 year old daughter (Bel Powley’s micro-skirted Tilly) and the threat of losing her job, being 50 isn’t proving easy for Tamsin Greig’s affectionately, habitually married Hilary who once protested at Greenham Common.
Playwright April De Angelis captures the contrast between the teens of today and of 30+ years ago, and the different ways in which menopausal women deal with becoming invisible.
Her comic strokes are often broad, but there’s heart as well as humour in Nina Raine’s zappy production in which, surprisingly, the young male characters show themselves to be surprisingly thoughtful when it really counts.
