85 mins
11 - 16 March 2025

Nicola Cheeseman wants her life back. Specifically, the life she had in her 20s when she was the lead singer of nouveau punk band - The Cherry Slits.
 
Plumb Theatre presents the katebilling.com encore season of "Nicola Cheeseman is Back".
 
This bitingly funny and relatable one woman show stars the phenomenal Jodie Rimmer (Sweet Tooth, Friends Like Her) who takes us on a fast-paced romp through the  to-do list of a 50-year-old woman navigating the mother of all makeovers.  Her husband has moved out, her aged father has moved in and Nicola is left wondering how the hell she got old and when exactly she shelved her dreams in order to keep everyone else happy.

In between raising kids, a failed marriage and holding it down at work, Nicola has lost her mojo and is hell bent on getting it back. 
 
“Nicola Cheeseman is Back is a f**king funny and wondrously observant play about not letting age get you down.” - Whiteside Entertainment

“Startlingly recognisable, painfully funny and also very touching." - Leigh Sykes - Theatreview“

"Nicola Cheeseman is Back is a triumph of theatrical storytelling, delivering a heartfelt exploration of life's complexities through the lens of a remarkable character, played by a remarkable actress and served on a smorgasbord of laugh after laugh.” - Monica Moore - Broadway World
