Summary
In the film “Good Girls Don’t Talk,” Beatrice plays a woman who risks losing her job because of her pregnancy. However, as filming progresses, the characters fall apart, the story collapses, and the script increasingly resembles her own life. Can fiction really resemble reality so closely?
Team memo
How openly do we talk about the workplace discrimination women face because of their pregnancy? How often do women have abortions not by choice but to keep their jobs? How freely do we talk about the difficult aspects of motherhood?
The play “Birthland. Good girls don’t talk about these things” is about women who find it difficult to decide whether or not they want to have children. For others, who regret it and don’t dare to say it even to themselves in the mirror. About time passing and weighing on you. About that big NOW OR NEVER that weighs on us women around the age of 35-40. Because, although many of us may now choose a path that goes beyond social norms, we still carry a burden of anxiety. Both about our work and about whether we will start a family, and what form that family will take. And we are constantly faced with dilemmas. I think our entire generation feels this anxiety, and we wanted to write a play about it: about the anxiety of remaining active in the workforce combined with the dilemma of becoming mothers. And about whether a child can grow up happy in this chaos.
