Description

The story of women's football in the UK is one of courage and perseverance. Through the eyes of a modern professional female footballer, Offside explores the game's past as she seeks to find her place in it. With a blend of dramatic narrative and performance poetry, this play delves into the world of top women's teams, revealing the challenges faced by players and the passion that drives them. Research with Manchester City Women's FC and Millwall Lionesses has provided an in-depth insight into the game, shedding light on the sexism and self-limitation that can hold women back. Yet, it is also a story of joy and triumph, where fear gives way to success in unexpected ways. Developed in partnership with the National Football Museum, Manchester, and the IWM, London, Offside offers a unique perspective on the world of women's football, one that is both powerful and moving.
