I am taking part in a series of scrip workshops on a play about gender.

The play is being written by a friend and drama colleague. It is inspired by her reaction to the Daily Mail front page Legsit, showing the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the First Minister of Scotland meeting to discuss the role of Scotland in the Brexit process and entirely commenting on their legs.

Her drama blog is here.

This is her second play. Her first play, Beauty was in last year's Fringe and was very good.

I like working with her and it's nice to be doing some drama. I'm a bit out of the loop because, stuff, but I understand she's got a first draft written and we are providing grist to the mill of a second, more weighty, draft. I have not seen the scrip. I don't think anyone other than her assistant director has.

Sunday's workshop was about engaging with gender cliches, which are the most dangerious, which are the most persistent, how do they shape individual and culturall expectations and beginging a group conversation about gender. It was interesting. I'm looking forward to the rest. I think Sunday was mostly about building a container for us to work in.

No revelations yet.
