Rough Girls - Tara Lynne O'neil

Descriere Rough Girls - Tara Lynne O'neil

\n \n'Football is all very well as a game for Rough Girls but it is hardly suitable for delicate boys.' Oscar Wilde \n \nThe making of Belfast's first all-female football team. \n \nThis is the untold story of the Belfast women who stepped onto a pitch in society-shocking shorts and footie boots, a ball at their feet and a point to prove. They were the suffragettes of soccer. Rebels with a ball, who kept kicking their way through the outraged defence of a male-dominated game to raise thousands for those returning from war. Set in Belfast 1917 - 1921 in a city divided by war but still united by sport, the play chronicles the courage and determination of those girls. \n \nThis original Belfast story based on true events will resonate with the history of the city and chime with the recent equality movements across the sports industry and the cultural sector. This ambitious, large-scale play features an impressive eleven strong female ensemble with live music creating the heartbeat of the city at the time. \n \nThis edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Belfast's Lyric Theatre in September 2021.\n
