Three weeks ago today, we previewed the first act of VILE, the brand new play I've written, trying to offer a bit of redemption to Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford. The story has sat with me for such a long time, and the themes are so dear to my heart, so it was an absolute privilege to spend all of June working on the show with an amazing group of people. It's taken me three weeks of lying exhausted in a darkened room to actually process and post about it 🙃🖤
1. The Rochfords
2. Show me the evidence that Jane and Anne weren't friends. Show me.
3. Every room in the Tudor court had a green fire exit sign
4. The Traitors (each one of these characters ended up in the Tower for being a traitor because historical accuracy is everything)
5. My pre-show meal might have been trash but at least
@benjamin57hynes' hair looked amazing
6. The face of two people who have just vodka sprayed a lot of hot costumes
7. Health & Safety
8. You know it's a beautiful lavender marriage when they pick the stickers off your dirty boots
9.
@thisisjonturner said I looked like Annie Lennox
10. Someone give me more funding for the rest of the show or I'll stay curled up in this little heap forever
