Product Description
Streetcar Named Perspire is an amusing roller coaster ride through the hot flashes, mood swings, depression, pimples, facial hair, rage, insomnia, memory lapse, rapid heartbeat and brain fog of one of life’s great transitions.

“Serving both as a primer in what to expect from the process and a witty yet gentle satire of the educational video, Streetcar Named Perspire finds the humor in a trying and universal experience.” –Black Maria Film Festival

“Priestley’s animated roller coaster ride through menopause both previews and celebrates- depending on your age- one of life’s most thrill-filled experiences.” -Heike Kuehn, Northwest Film and Video Festival Judge
