Germaine Greer: When are They Going to Make Prostate Problems into a Musical?
Germaine Greer’s analysis of “Menopause the Musical” as yet another commodification of women’s lives is spot on. She concludes,
“I’m all for wearing a lapel badge that says “Beware mood swings”, but that’s about it. Menopause the Musical is a version of Springtime for Hitler, the show that shouldn’t have been a hit. I’m thinking of a moneyspinner called Prostate Pandemonium, starring Michael Parkinson and Peter Stringfellow. Wouldn’t it be empowering to see ageing men living their urinary chaos out loud, being upfront and honest about their humiliations, dressing in purple, high-kicking and wetting themselves?”
