A comedy about the menopause - if that's not a contradiction in terms.
Lizzie is 48 years old, married to the faithful and loyal Roddy (even though she’s aware that makes him sound like a dog), with two grown children and a nearly paid off mortgage. ....So why does she feel like she's dying?
Boiling Point is about the menopause, but it’s not only about the menopause. It’s also about being lost and found. It’s about love, loyalty, bio chemistry and the human condition.
And it’s about the profound value - and danger - of very old friends.
Lizzie ..... Wendy Seager
Roddy ..... Stuart McQuarrie
Donna ..... Gabriel Quigley
Directed by Gaynor Macfarlane
