“D’you realise that, as a woman, I’ll probably have no more than about 500 ovulations in my entire life? And for most of those, I’ve been either too young or too single or too whatever…”
Clem loves her job and loves her fella and is totally convinced she doesn’t want kids. Until, aged 37, she suddenly decides that maybe she does….
About 500 is a witty emotional rollercoaster that explores women’s relationship with time and their fertility. This award-winning play is drawn from verbatim interviews with women of all ages, including leading experts in the field.
