The writer and star of a show in Lichfield says she hopes it will give menopausal women a voice.

Buzzing comes to The Hub at St Mary’s on 25th February and tells the story of freshly divorced Julie as she struggles to embrace her sexuality as a mature woman. 

The show, written by and starring Debbie Bird, ran at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival and was expanded to 70 minutes for a tour of the UK.

She said:

> “I wrote this play to give menopausal women a voice and start conversations about how women become ‘invisible’ as they approach mid-life – especially as a single woman -only seen as the labels placed on them rather than the vibrant, sexual, beautiful beings that they are.  
>  
> “I want to uplift and empower my audience. Happily, the show has proved to be just as poignant to men.”  
>  
> Debbie Bird

The play follows lead character Julie who decide to rekindle her lost libido after hosting a sex toy party.

Hurling herself into the modern dating scene, Julie shares her experiences with raw humour and engaging honesty.”

Tickets for the show in Lichfield are £15 and can be booked [online](https://thehubstmarys.co.uk/events/buzzing/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
