Elaine and Louise chat with writer/director Lucy Hayes about her new play Bitter Lemons on from now till 28th August @Pleasance Courtyard Beneath @2.20pm We also talk the themes of the play (brief mentions of abortion), to knowing what you want, moving from being an actor to a director, being bold, the disparity in pay in women’s football and much, much more. Another brilliant episode with another brilliant human. Bitter Lemons In the pressurised worlds of football and finance, two women carve their own path. After the loss of her dad, a goalkeeper prepares for the league final, while an ambitious banker battles her fears of being tokenised to secure a promotion. But as their pitches get closer, worlds collide as life shifts unexpectedly and in parallel. How do you face your biggest challenge yet? Winner of a Pleasance Edinburgh National Partnership Award and supported by Bristol Old Vic, Bitter Lemons is an explosive debut play tackling the pressures on women’s bodies and the power society holds over them.OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.ukPersistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero MembershipSupport In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-roomEmail – [email protected]Instagram - @persistentandnastyTwitter - @PersistentNastyCoffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EEResourcesSamaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UKArtsMinds - BAPAMFreelancers Make Theatre WorkStonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATEABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATEWeAudition offer:For 25% off your monthly subscription quote:NASTY25Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/
