Fresh from a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Menopausal Mayhem is the perfect antidote to the doom and gloom surrounding the menopause.
It is a one-woman show focusing on the funny side of the menopause and also the uplifting freedom and positivity it can bring. Come along and laugh until the tears run down your legs – and feel reassured that it isn’t just you!
Jennifer Kennedy is the award-winning author of Martha Gets the Menopause and Galloping Catastrophe: Musings of a Menopausal Woman, as well as the hugely successful blog Is It Just Me?
Menopausal Monologues is a collection of personal monologues honouring the topic of the menopause and midlife. Continuing the trend of breaking the silence around the menopause, they give voice to a variety of women’s (and some of their significant others’) real experiences.

Salon du Chocolat
2022-12-16 19:30 - 20:30 | The Drapery, United Kingdom
Allow performers from Scary Little Girls to stimulate your senses!
This intimate storytelling salon celebrates the relationship between cocoa nibs and forbidden literature…
When chocolate was first brought to England in the 1600s, it was considered a taboo substance, enjoyed only by the risque and elite in private salons. Some of our finest literature was also once considered too provocative for public consumption and was heard in similar salon environments by only the boldest of ears.
We recreate these intimate environs, combining mouth-watering chocolate treats with tales of the secret, banned and scandalous from authors such as Lord Byron, John Donn, Angela Carter and Joanne Harris.
Performed, read and sung to you by our highly acclaimed storytellers, the Salon du Chocolat invites you to succumb to a literary seduction!

Moon Hag R&D
2022-12-17 | Penlee Park Theatre, Morrab Road, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 4HE
Sunday, 20 July 1969 – the night man will land on the moon.
The far west of Cornwall –granite and serpentine – standing stones and a Satellite Station, under the light of the moon on which man will walk. An ancient landscape at the cutting edge of the modern technology that will broadcast this historic moment into the homes of the UK.
Three women artists, each as old as the century – a sculptor, a painter and a theatre-maker – are tuning in to witness this moment. Post-husband, post-children, or any wish or expectation of them–they all landed here from up-country and have lived within a few square miles, without knowing each other, since the 1940s.
Each has found her perfect self in solitude, with the means to claim a space of her own. Each has shaped, through her vision and her hands, and her love of the moon, a version of Cornwall which is beamed down the years.
But there is a shadow-woman behind them: she has been here all along, with the moon, and the sea and the stone circles she helped to build. There is a line from her Bronze Age moon worship, through the art and moon landings of the 1960s, to 2025 when Goonhilly technology is preparing to put a woman on the moon.
This is about women in Cornwall, under and on the moon: how each shapes and is shaped by the other down the years.
Please note that this is a private R&D event so no tickets are available

Menstrual Creativity Workshop with Amy Draper
2022-12-17 10:00 - 11:00
Are you working in arts venues and looking to support wellness within production companies?

Are you part of a permanent arts building team and looking to support wellness within rehearsal rooms?

Are you a freelance arts facilitator or arts leader looking to grow your confidence around supporting wellness within performance teams and companies?

Join this 2 hour online workshop with Amy Draper that explores how to run a menstrual cycle aware process to benefit both your participants and the work.

It will demystify, provide language to use and give confidence to talk about this, incorporating:
+ Fears and taboos of bringing menstrual cycle awareness into the workplace
+ The Inner Seasons – an outline of the different monthly energies
+ How to harness these as an individual creative
+ How to run a team or a room with this and menstrual wellbeing in mind
+ Further resource list
Why?
Menstrual cycle awareness is all about people who menstruate understanding and working with, not against, the natural and consistent energies of each cycle. It’s brilliant, eye-opening and game-changing. Amy says, ‘The more I’ve engaged with this, both as a menstruator and someone who leads creative processes, the more it hasn’t made sense to exclude it from other wellbeing practices.”

Riot Showgrrrls Club
2022-12-17 19:30 - 20:30 | Stones Krowji Café, West Park, Redruth, Cornwall, TR15 3AJ, United Kingdom
In 2008, when lad mags were in their hay day, cabaret meant tit tassels and female stripping and porn was being main-streamed right into our cultural veins, Scary Little Girls bravely took a pro sex anti porn show to Edinburgh.
We claimed that ‘it’s an empirical fact that feminists have the best sex’ and used throbbing, electro-pop and gleeful, musical romps to lay out why – and how porn ruins this.
Now in 2022, still putting the “camp” squarely into “campaigning”, our heroines Rebecca Mordan and Christina Li are going to use games, comedy, songs and hand-stamps to look at how we are faring since in these days of hyper-social media and Pornhub.
Expect make-your-own-membership cards, vulva cupcakes and Patriarchy Bingo in this fast paced, fact facing, feel good feminist fling – and there will be dancing in our revolution!
Tickets – £10, £6 cons (we consider anyone who needs to be to be a concession, so please pay at this price if this allows you to come along)

We will be at the opening preview for Es & Flo at the Wales Millennium Centre!
Es and Flo fell fiercely in love in the 80s. They’ve been secretly living as lovers ever since. As Es becomes more forgetful around their home, an unexpected carer arrives.
Who sent this woman? Why? Can they trust her?
As the outside world comes crashing in, Flo fights to protect the life they’ve built together over forty years behind closed doors. And faces the hardest battle of her life – to hold on to the woman she loves.
Coloured with memories of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp – where Es and Flo first met as activists – this sharply observed new play by Jennifer Lunn celebrates the love of an older lesbian relationship, women coming together to fight for what’s right, and the healing power of chosen family.
Jennifer Lunn joined Greenham Women Everywhere on the 40th anniversary walk from Cardiff to Greenham in 2021, so we are very happy to be supporting this production!
The preview will be accompanied by a talk from our director Becca and her ukelady!

About Common Ground
Common Ground is a series of events bringing the legacy of Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp to local communities across the UK. It is part of a project created by Scary Little Girls in collaboration with Greenham Women Everywhere CIC to map the impact of the Peace Camp on the women who inhabited it and the communities they returned to. This project has been made possible thanks to support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
About Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp
Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was an enduring and iconic protest spanning 19 years from 1981 – 2000. Whilst the occupation of the common began with the aim of forcing out the US nuclear warheads from Berkshire, the protest became a focal point of feminist history and has left a legacy of women’s liberation around the world.
You can view our archive of oral histories, photographs and ephemera from Greenham here.
