come upon this work?
3:25
Well, Way back in the Edinburgh Fringe of 2023, we were looking for a subject of a play to write for me to do another one-woman show.
3:36
And we realised that nearly all the names we came up with were called Mary.
3:41
And we thought, wouldn't it be fun to do 60 Marys in 60 minutes? And then we thought, we can't do that.
3:47
It would just be a sentence a minute and no one's going to come and see that.
3:52
And we went off and tried to write it, tried to put a format around it, and it didn't quite work.
3:56
So out of that came another play, which is quite exciting.

And of course, because I don't have much of a network out there, I think I knew about three people to come to Press Night.

So they really kicked in and they got, you know, they got the place full, which was lovely.
