Synopsis
The Madwoman in the Volvo
$15.99 Published by Methuen
0 Male 3 Female
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're determined not to go quietly into their sixth decade
Instead, they opt for a desert festival of debauchery and half-nude stoners
Based on her acclaimed memoir of the same title that Booklist called "hilarious, comforting and enlightening", Loh's play is an hilarious, provocative and often moving consideration of what it is to be a mature woman in a society that reveres youth
The Mad Woman in the Volvo premiered January 2016 at South Coast Repertory, California
