Edinburgh Festival Series 2024 - Ep 217: Singing I'm No A. Billie She’s A Tim

Persistent and Nasty

Today Elaine chats the performers of Singin I’m No a Billie She’s A Tim - Dionne Frati, Jade McDonald and Rachel Ogilvy. We chat taking a show that was origiinaly written for male actors and transforming it and updating it for women and for 2024. We talk the importance of the language we use and how we need to actively challenge outdated language in older plays and why it’s important and much more.
