When the world gave us mouldy lemons I threw them away and made a film instead. Ram of God is premiering as a film instead of a live show, online now as part of Stockholm fringe. It was exciting and challenging to be working in a format I’m not used to, but I had a lot of fun playing with the different possibilities and limitations. Like my live shows I play all the characters, and I also filmed and edited it. There’s only one shot that I had help with – I asked my mum to stand on a ladder and film whilst chucking milk at me. Unfortunately milk got in the camera and I learnt my lesson the hard way: DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF AND NEVER ASK FOR HELP. On the plus side, although the camera was out of action for a week, the shot is sensational (thanks mum) and I put it in as many times as possible. I tried to keep the element of live theatre, so this isn’t really a film or a filmed theatre show, but a theatrical film: messy, rough round the edges, ridiculous, fun, lo-fi and full of joy. Rather than an attack on any one religion, it asks the question to what extent patriarchy is a cult in which men are conditioned to lead and women are conditioned to follow.
