45 minutesClover Studio
Just a game? An Amazon All or Nothing documentary – but without the sponsorship money. Or men. Goalkeeper Marnie juggles a second job, Twitter trolls and a Premier League striker boyfriend over the course of a WSL Championship season. Navigating periods, penalties and pressure, and with her team battling relegation, can the newly-appointed captain save them – and her career – from the drop? A one-woman comedy drama exploring confidence, fan culture and the footballing gender pay gap. Think Dear England meets Derry Girls – with hefty sprinkles of North London grit, heart and attitude.

About the show

Lioness is a one-woman comedy drama by Made You Look Productions, performed at Clover Studio on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Goalkeeper Marnie juggles a second job, Twitter trolls and a Premier League striker boyfriend over the course of a WSL Championship season. Navigating periods, penalties and pressure, and with her team battling relegation, can the newly-appointed captain save them — and her career — from the drop? The show explores confidence, fan culture and the footballing gender pay gap. Runs 45 minutes and suitable for ages 12 and over.

Why see this show?

Lioness is sharp, funny and packed with North London grit. If football drama has felt male by default for too long, this one-woman show puts a female goalkeeper centre stage and makes the stakes feel genuinely high.
