Love Beneath The Nails

More about the book

Kat thought they were far too young to worry about menopause. Biology had other ideas... Dry Season is a spoken word theatre show that interweaves music, movement and medical texts with original poetry and animation. Using the role of women in fairytales as a starting point, Kat takes the audience on a journey through a chaotic year of hormone issues, NHS visits and unexpected connections. Honest, intimate and threaded through with dark humour, Dry Season uses Kat's experience of premature ovarian failure to question societal expectations of age and gender, and explore wider issues around mental health, identity and how we cope with loss.
