A successful celebrity hairdresser in Glasgow, with her own TV show and a smart loft apartment in the Merchant City, Barbs Marshall has it all. Hasn`t she? Perhaps not. For Barbs is thirty-nine. And single. And unhappy. And is becoming deafened by the ominous ticking of her biological clock . . . Whilst Barbs is coming to terms with this new-found desire for a baby, her own mother Sadie wastes no time in helpfully pointing out the perils of single parenthood (don`t even mention test tubes); her oldest friend Alice suddenly reveals that she`s been keeping Barbs in the dark about a Very Big Secret; and Barbs`s estranged husband Davie casually mentions that he`s acquired a new, much younger girlfriend. Not even Barbs`s best pal, the gorgeous but camp-as-Christmas Brendan, seems able to help her deal with this onslaught of mid-life crises. But then, out of the blue, Barbs meets Grant – attractive and thirteen years her junior - who might just be the answer to all of her problems. Aye, right. If only . . . Sharply observed, moving and wickedly funny, this story of one woman`s search for love, companionship and motherhood amidst the bustle of contemporary life is a modern romantic comedy par excellence. If you enjoyed our hugely popular production of Liz Lochhead`s Good Things in 2009, then this is must see!
