Metro Screen giveaway Shakespeare et al and Darlinghurst Theatre Company present AUNTS WITH HOT FLUSHES By Sue Ingleton It’s New Year’s Eve 1959. Three female friends, (and a ring in), gather to celebrate the dawn of the 1960’s, a time filled with the promise of emancipation and change, whether desired or not. The women share a common bond, in that they’re all childless, somewhat set in their ways, and approaching, or in the sweaty throes of menopause. What begins as a light-hearted gathering of female friends reminiscing about the war, their nieces and nephews, beauty treatments and men - or the lack of them - in their lives, soon veers into uncharted waters. As many martinis are consumed, defences slip and reminiscence becomes disclosure. Secrets are shared and lies revealed which will change these women’s lives and relationships forever. Metro Screen concession: $18 tix to all Tuesday performances. $22 tix to all other performances (excluding Opening Night). Please mention Metro Screen when booking. Bring along Metro Screen membership card when collecting tickets. Venue: Darlinghurst Theatre Company, 19 Greenknowe Avenue, Potts Point Bookings: 02 8356 9987 or www.darlinghursttheatre.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 20.
