Yeah, and so what was also that like t- for you to get into that part as well, and to sort of step into those boots? Did you do research? Did you just sort of look at football today? Like, how did you find yourself going about it?
12:08
So I'm actually, like, I'm not...
12:10
I wouldn't say that I'm a football fan.
12:12
But I think, like I mentioned, you know, women's football has been on the rise, and I've found myself, like, dipping into the games, like watching.
12:20
I actually went to watch the England women's team at Wembley a couple of months ago.
12:25
I think it was maybe the start of last year.
12:27
And that's when I was like, "Oh," like, "this is something that I could get into." Like, this is quite fun.
15:45
"I need this role."
43:36
And her reason why, and what is it like to play her?
43:41
I mean, it's amazing.
43:42
When I first read the script, I was just like, "This is gonna be incredible." Um, and I think as Elizabeth is saying, you know, we have 11 women on stage at all times, and it's, it's a show of teamwork and friendship, and I think that that's what really drew me to the, to the play at first.
44:02
'Cause I was like, "Wow, how amazing would it be to be in a company full of women and showcase that?" But I think, you know, a- as much as it's about football, um, it's, like I say, about that teamwork and about for having love for something and having one thing that unites people.
44:23
Um, 'cause all of the characters are different.
44:25
And, and each one of us brings something different to the show, but we're all united by one thing, and that's our, our love for football that grows throughout the show.
49:03
Did that journey, going through that process, change you, do you think, as a person, as a performer?
49:10
Yeah, definitely.
