Foley's the sound effects, someone who is actually making the sound of-- like when you walk, they're making the-- I'm not being articulate.
The Foley design, for those who don't know, what is Foley?
JJ Foley's is a bar that I would pass.
This is James Wright Foley, who is an American journalist.
director also um and the cast and Foley
And I started reading the Mark Foley transcripts to get inspiration for writing a play like this.
I knew that I wanted Mark Foley because of the underage component, which I thought was a different kind of thing.
So if you remember Eddie Murphy in "48 Hours," that Axel Foley car?
E. FOLEY: I am E. Foley.
E. FOLEY: And we're here to talk about "What Would Boudicca Do, Everyday Problems Solved by History's Most Remarkable Women." B. COATES: It's been a really amazing year
E. FOLEY: And also as part of that there has been lots of raising awareness of the achievements of women from history
E. FOLEY: So the way our book's organized is it's divided into 50 short chapters, and each chapter focuses one particular high achiever
E. FOLEY: So we start with someone who is very famous for being very good at her job.
E. FOLEY: Yep. B. COATES: Sweaty palms.
E. FOLEY: Yep. B. COATES: Voice all weird, squeaky and high?
E. FOLEY: Really trying to counteract that.
E. FOLEY: Just kind of excellent dad skills to start you off with.
E. FOLEY: So Mary before her had done that with a lot of burning and murder involved.
E. FOLEY: Yeah. And that's actually something that comes up in lots of kind of modern guides to public speaking, is that watching actors perform
E. FOLEY: And she actually, she turned up in a long white velvet gown with armor on a gray horse to make her red hair look particularly good.
E. FOLEY: From Elizabeth.
E. FOLEY: So Hedy he was born in 1913 in Austria, and she grew up in a cultivated and comfortable home, and she went to drama school in Berlin,
E. FOLEY: Yes. Hedy's new found star light was quite quickly snuffed out by her possessive husband.
E. FOLEY: By 1938 she was cast in her first English language film, and from that point on she found herself mainly
E. FOLEY: And Hedy was certainly not just T&A. She had a singular brain inside her head, and when World War II came, she was
E. FOLEY: No one could rock a center parting, a bold lipstick, and an elegant understanding of spread spectrum broadcasts like Hedy.
E. FOLEY: Which is good news for all of us who make that mistake on a regular basis.
E. FOLEY: Which I think today's child psychologists would have a field day with that.
E. FOLEY: So again, stern stuff to go and live with your mother-in-law and three small children.
E. FOLEY: And in fact that three small children can prepare you to resist torture.
E. FOLEY: We both have three small children.
E. FOLEY: And her final report was glowing, but it did note a complete unwillingness to admit that she could ever be wrong, which is a strategy that is worth
E. FOLEY: That turned out to be a bad plan from the commandant, because Odette immediately daubed him in, and she stole documents from his car
E. FOLEY: So we move from one warrior woman to another, our title lady, many centuries before Odette.
E. FOLEY: But we saw something in her emphatic response that we thought was inspiring, albeit with less disemboweling and mutilation.
E. FOLEY: Under floor heating.
E. FOLEY: But the Roman emperor did actually rethink his policy for colonizing Britain and go with a less aggressive kind of stance on it
E. FOLEY: And even Plato who was not a big fan of poetry called her the 10th muse.
E. FOLEY: One of them called her a sex crazed whore who sings of her own wantonness, which is not what you see on the back of the Penguin Classics
E. FOLEY: And you have to be pretty confident in yourself to feel that you need to invent a new poetic form to express
E. FOLEY: And she does the same in another poem where she talks about aging, and she talks about her kind of knackered knees and her sagging skin,
E. FOLEY: So we're pitching our book as kind of inspiring and hoping that it fills readers with kind of vim and vigor
E. FOLEY: People already lived there.
E. FOLEY: So it was a really tough journey.
E. FOLEY: So the first recorded writer, either man or woman, in the planet's history.
E. FOLEY: And she has a kind of bald, crouching priest at her feet.
E. FOLEY: And we particularly like the line, mistress of heaven with the great pectoral jewels.
E. FOLEY: So the next lesson we have comes from what seems like a slightly unlikely place, but covers an issue that I think haunts
E. FOLEY: Yes. She starred in plays by the likes of Dryden, and she was admired by people like Aphra Ben and the Earl of Rochester.
E. FOLEY: They did, yes.
