Julie’s acclaimed novel tells the story of a 45-year-old artist who sets out not to merely survive the upheaval of menopause, but to thrive in it—with everything that comes with it: desire, doubt, pain, and liberation. Instead of the classic coming-of-age narrative, we experience a coming-of-change: a late awakening that is radically present and forward-looking.
The feminist artists’ collective storytelling engines brings Julie’s radical prose to the stage as a dynamic staged reading. With wit and defiance, three performers tell the story of a woman who stops functioning—and thereby begins to live.
