Well, this is written on March 16th....no live football as such today, for me? But to involve some proper football, my manager took me to the Sheffield Theatre-The Crucible to enjoy a Sheffield Theatres' Production, a "dramatic verse play", by Stefano Massini, adapted by Tim Firth, titled "The Ladies Football Club". An afternoon session and it is on for a Month...so if you happen to be anywhere near the Steel City...go!
It is musical, there is dance and it portrays the issues involving eleven women who had to struggle against many challenges and conflicts in trying to establish their own football team. E lizabeth Newman and Flo Gill, Directed the play and provided an inspirational work with a cast seventeen women, one a ten year old Sophie Tanner, one for four youngsters and thirteen "grown ups", one, Joy Adegon an actress who trained at Cambridge and Theatre Royal Stratford, Lesley Hart whose CV is as long as a football pitch and four youngsters aged between 10 and 12. There was special thanks to the Mole Valley (Dorking) Girls' Football Club for its "availability of experience", no doubt letting the "staff" see what really happens. Today for real, the Boodles' Independent Schools FA Cup Final (Under 18) is being played, as I type between Bradfield College (Reading) and Aldenham School at Sixfields Stadium-Northampton. More on this tomorrow.
