‘The show about periods I never knew I needed’

Heather Milstead leads this storming cabaret with more facts about menstruation than you
can shake a stick at.

This hour long show takes the audience through thousands of periods worth of facts starting
with David Attenborough observing Cleopatra and ending with a tap dance through the
1900s to modern day. Yes…a literal tap dance.

Milstead is charming and skilfully navigates the often weird topic and wins over even the
shyest of audience members with her innovative and interactive storytelling.

Punctuated by music, games, interaction and even a giant inflatable penis the show keeps
energy throughout and who doesn’t want to pin the womb on the woman. What could feel like a lecture comes off as an informative enjoyable show that anyone can
enjoy.

Milstead even excels with the ‘serious’ part which highlights the frankly depressing lack of
conversation and support for menstruation.

My only sadness was the articulation during the beginning song meant I missed out on some
enjoyable jokes due to not being able to hear them.

Definitely a lovely way to spend an hour if you wish you knew more about periods!
