Overview

Elżbieta Jodłowska, author of the play Climacterium i już (Menopause and Now), decided that she would break another taboo. She created a two-hour-long tragic farce about hot flashes, skin spots, obesity, attacks of hysteria, failing memory and fading libido. She enriched the show with songs and dance. The performances are received with standing ovations.
