The attention to detail in the script is impressive, balanced between providing a fully credible narrative and not being bogged down in minutiae.
Interest is easily maintained from start to finish. This has, at least in part, to do with Bird’s storytelling skills.
An encouraging and enlightening show.

Open, honest, and without self-pity, it tells the tale of her ultimately successful battle to come to terms with, and appreciate, without arrogance, her own worth.
A valuable message for everyone, man or woman.

It's not often that theatre addresses the topic of middle-aged women, let alone has the bare-faced cheek to suggest that they may wish to have an active and fulfilling sex life, so Debbie Bird's Buzzing is something of a social service as well as an evening's entertainment. It carries a message that needs to be heard by everyone, especially those for whom older women are cougars, or irrelevant, or your mum.
