Our track record when it comes to an enlightened understanding of menopause is, well ... spotty at best. Today, 50 million menopausal women turn to self-help books for cheerful tips and tricks. But in The Madwoman in the Volvo, one woman and her friends decide to barrel into menopause on their own terms, heading to the desert for a weekend of debauchery and half-nude stoners at Burning Man. This hilarious ride through midlife madness is based on the hugely popular memoir of the same name by NPR commentator Sandra Tsing Loh. Dive into all the craziness when The Madwoman in the Volvo takes over Peet's Theatre at Berkeley Rep.
