A Menopausal Gentleman:
The Solo Performances of Peggy Shaw
ed. Jill Dolan

This collection of Shaw's solo performance scripts evokes a 54-year-old grandmother who looks like a 35-year-old man (in her classic "Menopausal Gentleman"); a mother's ambivalent ministrations to a daughter she treated like a son (in the raw "You're Just Like My Father"); Shaw's love for her biracial grandson, for whom she models masculinity (in the musically punctuated "To My Chagrin"); and a mapping of her body's long, bittersweet history (in the lyrical "Must: The Inside Story," a collaboration with the UK's Clod Ensemble).
