'Meet Flo, the unwelcome Aunty everyone complains about, but who we depend on for our very existence.
'You would think we’d be proud of this most significant Tidda - keeper of our divine feminine power - but we hide her away and talk about her in whispers, especially later on when she stops turning up altogether. This is her story, or is it?
'A hilarious play created by mob for mob, exploring the ups and downs of the most natural stage of anyone who bleeds life - menopause.
'The story was developed by Nazaree Dickerson for ILBIJERRI Theatre Company, and was born out of real life experiences of First Nations women.' (Production summary)
