Lady Bird

We're back, for good this time!? This week we're joined by Chichester Festival Theatre's Elspeth Barron to discuss Greta Gerwig's 2017 hit indie coming-of-age flick 'Lady Bird'. The film follows Lady Bird, played by Saoirse Ronan, as she navigates her final year at Catholic School in Sacramento and her relationships with family, friends, and boys. It's a comedy that packs a punch and captures it's period setting of 2002/3, as well as the end of high school, with astute observation.

For our hypothetical staging, we talk ensemble casts, quick moving sets, cars onstage(!?), getting past archaic orchestra pits, and treating this play as a memory onstage.

Take a listen and let us know your thoughts @maybeulikeit or [email protected]. What would you have done differently? How would you handle the many threads of relationship that Gerwig gives us? Do you love Timothée Chalamet's cheek bones as much as Jake does?

At time of release, Lady Bird is on Netflix in the UK.
