WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN to be Presented at The Meridian Arts Centre

Doctor Bird Productions will present Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown for its second production of its 2024/25 season. The show will be presented in concert format, performed with an orchestra and a dance ensemble. A musical adaptation of Pedro Almodóvar's beloved film of the same name, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is the brainchild of the talented team behind Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Preserving the unusual and exhilarating tone and style of the Oscar-nominated film, Women on the Verge will delight both fans of the film and newcomers to the raucous tale. Both touching and hilarious, Women on the Verge is a story about women and the men who pursue them... finding them, losing them, needing them and rejecting them.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown in Concert will be presented at the Meridian Arts Centre's Studio Theatre under the direction of director/choreographer Emilia Ballester (Jekyll & Hyde in Concert- Doctor Bird Productions). "This production is a celebration of women navigating love, heartbreak, and self-discovery with humor and tenacity" says Ballester, "By embracing the absurdity of life's messiest moments, we uncover the beauty and strength in vulnerability. This show will create a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience that amplifies the voices of complex female characters, inspiring audiences to laugh, reflect, and celebrate the resilience of the human spirit. Most importantly, I want to inspire and empower women to recognize their own capacity for growth and renewal, opening a space where creativity, diversity, and community flourish."
