Showy Ovaries with Penny Ashton.
Comedian Penny Ashton is on a voyage of discovery into the hormonal hocus pocus of menopause. So what better way to learn about her moisture moving from inside her body to perspiring out her face, than by talking to a series of wondrous women and owners of ovaries about their own lives and their menopause journeys. A series of frank and funny interviews all about what to expect, when expecting the change. Warning: salty language, and not just from the night sweats. Season Three and beyond is opening up wider to include women and trans individuals of all ages and bodily functionings.
Showy Ovaries with Penny Ashton.
Excellently Accomplished Eilish Moran
Queen of Christchurch's Court Theatre stage, Eilish Moran took some time out of her packed schedule to chat to Penny about her body, her menopause and being in Penny's adaptation of Sense and Sensibility at the Court in February 2023. Penny was excited to get to know a woman she saw onstage all through her youth and adolescence in such plays as Little Shop of Horrors, The Crucible and so much more.
Eilish was so generous sharing her parent's dementia journeys, her stories of eating disorders and the roles she has both loved and the ones that got away. Penny, Eilish and Poppy the dog, enjoyed scones and a coffee in her 19th Century country cottage as they laughed about boobs, puberty and the fact that one of them kept farting.
