AUDIO	VIDEO	
MARY FRANCIS MOORE: The show is about three women who don't know each other at the top of the show, but they all get dumped, and it's how they get over their heartbreak through the help of each other.	Mary Francis Moore, co-writer and director of “Bittergirl – The Musical”, sits at a table and speaks to the camera.	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Was it important to have friends who were going through the same situation as you?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

MARY FRANCIS MOORE: So important. Annabel was serial dating, I was about to get dumped by my living partner, Alison was a single mother. We became family. We're so close, and I think it's that time in our lives that bonded us.	Mary Francis Moore continues speaking to the camera.
	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
You once appeared in the play. Any favourite memories?

MARY FRANCIS MOORE: There are so many stories I could share. There's flying to New York to do the show and, you know, giving breakup advice to flight attendants on the plane.	Mary Francis Moore continues speaking to the camera.
	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Why did you include iconic music from the 60s and 70s?

	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Anything to say to the man who was your inspiration for this show?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

MARY FRANCIS MOORE: (Laughs) It's a great question. Thank you. Thank you for giving me what has been one of the best creative gifts of my life. I would not be the person I am today if I didn't have this show.	Mary Francis Moore continues speaking to the camera.
	
	TEXT ON SCREEN: 
Why should people see this show?	
[AUDIO CONTINUES]

MARY FRANCIS MOORE: It feels like it's a play about relationships, but really, it's a play about friendship. And that's the thing we want people to leave, that they want to call their girlfriends, that they want to call and get together and call someone they haven't seen in a while and have a laugh.	Mary Francis Moore continues speaking to the camera.
