Meet Myra, Sylvia, Helen and Jessica aka The Hot Flush Club, hitting the menopause years disgracefully. Share in the friendships and secrets, the laughs, the tears and the ups and downs of four ordinary women – and one man – living extraordinary lives.
Myra’s a successful divorce barrister whose rat of a husband has left her for a “blonde bimbo”. Jessica’s struggling in the midst of a mid-life crisis, while Sylvia has been married to Joe since she was 20… and been bored since she was 21! Helen, a widow, is trying to take one day at a time; it’s just that sometimes, several days hit her all at once.
More fun than joining a gym and cheaper than Botox, Hot Flush should be available on prescription! Forget the Brexit blues and get your girlfriends together for this not-to-be missed night out at the theatre. And bring your man along as well… you’ll all love this outrageously funny and charming show.
Hot Flush stars Su Pollard, Helen Pearson, Melanie Gutteridge, Matt Slack and Ruth Keeling and is directed by Alan Cohen with choreography by Lorna Amy Sullivan and musical supervision by Olly Ashmore. The show is produced by Chris Moreno and Michael Courtney for Story Book Productions.
Matt Slack returns to Hot Flush playing all nine male characters in the show! His TV credits include EastEnders (PC Greg Preston) and Casualty. Matt started out as a blue coat for Pontins in 1993. He then had first taste of TV as co-presenter on West Country TV’s Club 22.45 with Nick Owen. This was shortly followed by the role of Nigel Spume in the CITV children’s series, Dr Zargle. He is a Panto regular having appeared at the Birmingham Hippodrome for six consecutive years and has headlined a host of Summer Season shows. Musical theatre roles include the lead role of Roddy in the UK tour of Boogie Nights and he has featured in the UK tour of Blood Brothers
Ruth Keeling returns to Hot Flush as ‘Jessica’. Theatre includes Her Naked Skin (The National Theatre) and television includes Doctors, Hollyoaks Later EastEnders, Lee Nelsons Well Good Show and Witless.
