The women you've seen play today, we are more than football
players, more than athletes and sportspeople of the very highest
degree. We are heroines or heroes - or however you wanna say it -
and we should be taking our place on posters and platforms and TV
stations, changing the way perfect is thought of, changing the way
girls can be brought up. Offside tells the story of women's
football in the UK through the eyes of a modern professional female
footballer as she seeks to find a future in the game through
exploring its past. Mickey is alone in the locker room; she
deliberates with herself about the biggest decision of her life,
her career, her love - her football. But in a world where sexism is
rife and a feeling of self-limitation reduces opportunities, fear
makes for poor decisions while joy flourishes in the unlikeliest of
places. Offside has been researched with top women's teams,
Manchester City Women's FC and Millwall Lionesses, where many
players, sports scientists and others who are integral to the
development of the game have been interviewed to gain an in-depth
insight into their world. The play blends a dramatic narrative with
performance poetry and chanting to evoke the pace and passion of
the women's game. The production, by Futures Theatre, has been
developed in partnership with the National Football Museum,
Manchester, and the IWM, London.
