About The Performance
Three middle-aged women come together to celebrate the first birthday of May’s daughter. During the celebration, May announces she will have surgery on her private parts, which shocks the friends and gives rise to heated discussion, because the surgery is so unusual and rarely spoken of. The play provides a window to peep into women’s intimate world, a world unknown to many of us.
