I was standing on the tarmac when she got off the plane and we shook hands and I went down into a curtsy and I started wobbling a little bit, and oh-oh, I was down and it suddenly became crystal clear that I was not getting up, and without a flicker of expression on her face the Queen strengthened her arm and she pulled me up to my feet. Her grip was iron. I might still be there today if she hadn't lent me her strength. And she never stopped smiling the whole time. - Margaret Trudeau in Certain Woman of an Age I particularly liked the above anecdote as it was entirely new to me and because it displays very well both Margaret Trudeau's good-spirited self-deprecatory humour and Queen Elizabeth II's solid quiet strength when under public scrutiny. I enjoyed this 73 minute stage performance which consists of Trudeau's wide range of public and private anecdotes which she delivers in an uplifting tale of resilience and survival. Trudeau has been an advocate for mental health issues since publically revealing her bipolar diagnosis in 2006. Certain Woman of an Age is one of the free Audible Originals for Audible members in March 2020. It is available to everyone for a standard price. Trivia and Link You can read an interview with Margaret Trudeau that was concurrent with her New York staging of the show in September 2019 at Margaret Trudeau has the last laugh in Certain Woman of an Age.

Margaret Trudeau, former wife of Pierre Trudeau, 15th Prime Minister of Canada, mother of Justin Trudeau, Canada's current Prime Minister, and international mental health advocate, brought her intimate staged performance, Certain Woman of an Age, to the Minetta Lane Theatre, where it was recorded live for Audible Theater. In this "fearless and vulnerable" (Chicago Tribune) one-woman show, Trudeau opens up - with refreshing candor - about her extraordinary life and her encounters with some of the most important icons of our time. It's a gripping portrait of motherhood, marriage, life-altering tragedy, and personal triumph. Co-written with Alix Sobler and directed by Kimberly Senior, Certain Woman of an Age is a funny, honest examination of one of the world's most fascinating figures.

First Audible Original of the year that if I could trade back it would have gone back int the space of the first twenty minutes. I did still finish it, because it only had an extra hour after that, but I did not find myself enjoying, or laughing at any of it. It's nice to have some context on the Candian Prime Minister's mother in her own words, but I have no urge to pursue reading anything else she's written/played in/spoke at. (
