Take a deep breath and get ready to meet Myra, Sylvia, Helen & Jessica, a quartet of feisty menopausal women who get together at a local bar every Tuesday night. Affectionately named the ‘Hot Flush Club’ the ladies offer each other moral support, cry on one another’s shoulders and of course most importantly, gossip and malign the many men in their lives! Fifteen men in fact, all played by one brave man!
