Special Episode in collaboration with Local Girl Productions: Best Female Performances
Description
Joining the mulls for this special episode, Lauren from Local Girl Productions invited the team to discuss great lead performances from female actors in midlife or older.
A survey of 2,000 movies recently revealed that female actors were increasingly marginalised as they entered their 40s and beyond, given much less dialogue and screentime while male stars in middle age continue to be given more to say. This episode of the podcast gave us the opportunity to draw out examples of phenomenal female actors who bucked that trend by continuing to lead films with jaw-dropping performances - while also proving that those movies have a significant audience.
Local Girl Productions are a theatre production company based in South Essex focused on making theatre for, by, and about 'ordinary' humans. Their next production is Oestrogen Assemble, taking place on the 13th September at My Place in Harold Hill. The trailer, featured in this episode of the podcast, includes music from the show with lyrics and music by Jules Tipton.
