Synopsis: Once you’ve reached the heady heights of becoming an AFL footballer’s girlfriend, there’s only one place left to go – the Brownlow. Will these girls make it, or will the red carpet be ripped from underneath them?

 

QUOTES & REVIEWS:

"A slick two-hander... hilarious expose of what some women will put themselves through in the name of being - or becoming - a footballer's girlfriend” The Age.

“Fiona Harris & Katrina Mathers are excellent in the roles of Fran and Jane, creating a wonderful Odd Couple type relationship… Based on the quality of writing and performance in Footy Chicks, they will be well worth watching in the future… It’s funny, entertaining and well worth seeing. Stageleft.

“...a pleasant surprise... finely-honed acting skills and timing that keep the laughs coming… a refreshing comedy of manners” The Chaser Newspaper

"…people were relaxed and laughing, talking about great stuff they'd seen: Frank Woodley's The Happy Dickwit, and Noel Fielding's Voodoo Hedgehog, and the Footy Chicks, and Dave O Neil, and Men In Coats and Lee Mack.” Danny Katz, The Age

“Harris and Mathers delivered a tight and amusing performance… the characters were made real by well-honed acting abilities… there was a script and decent production and it was funny… music, lighting and costumes were all used to great effect.” InPress
