Spring Clean
In our current climate, where everything has been turned on it's head, this 20 minute, 4 part Dramady follows Rowenas disastrous antics. Held together with pills, booze and some solid daily mantras, she grasps life tightly as it crumbles through her fingers time and time again. Every woman over 30 will rejoice, and with raucous laughter cry "finally a show about REAL women my age!" It's Fleabag for the Middle Aged Woman. Ridiculous, hopeless and hopeful all in the same bite. Themes - Today's 40+ year old woman, LGBTQ, Family, Love and Friendship.— Brigitte Jarvis (creator)
