“I’m serious. I’m pregnant and I want to get out.”
In 2006, I was approached by Wonderland Theatre to re-direct their revival of John Burrows’ 1987 play It’s A Girl! Having had a successful run of the play at that year’s Edinburgh Festival, the company had been invited to take the production to Romania to participate in a festival of international theatre in Bucharest.
Working with the original cast of brilliant actors: Sarah Armstrong, Margaret-Ann Bain, Marie Blount, Joanna Doyle, and Avril Poole, on a new version of the production for the festival, was a great first step in directing for me.
This version was presented as part of the Bucharest Festival of International Theatre in May 2007.
