Futures are bringing their latest play in development, Offside to L Fest this summer. Offside, co written by spoken word artists Sabrina Mahfouz and Hollie McNish, tells the story of Women’s Football in the UK through the eyes of a modern professional female footballer as she seeks to find a future in the game, through exploring its past. 
 
Mickey is alone in the locker room; she deliberates with herself about the biggest decision of her life, her career, her love – her football. But in a world where prejudice is rife and a feeling of self-limitation reduces opportunities; fear makes for poor decisions whilst joy flourishes in the unlikeliest of places.
