Seven Stages for Seven Ages

Broadcasting Every Friday at 3.30pm. From February 2nd to March 15th

Shakespeare covered the seven stages of life better than most in a speech called The Seven Ages of Man in a play called As You Like It.  Shakespeare’s speech was all about boys and men, but our series is all about girls and women. Join us on our seven-week journey through the ages stopping off at all the stages from child to teenager, from mother to grandmother, from work to retirement, from multitasker to multi-talented, from social commentator to mould breaker, and everything in between. Starts on Friday Feb 2nd at 3.30pm
