She is.

So I'm playing Edo Annie and Edo Annie is like

a woman with the brain and the desires of a modern woman.

It's like the desire to explore, the desire to not settle down at the age of 18, but to see the world and to meet people.

She just has so much love in her heart that she wants to give it to everyone.

And then she's in this community, like she's got this modern brain in this old school community.

And unfortunately, the communities can't go on.

Hey, girl, you gotta you gotta ease off.

You gotta pick one boy and you gotta stick with him.

She's like, why?

She's saying, why do I have to do that?

Who made that up?

So she's kind of like getting scolded throughout the show, but people very, like she's maybe not the brightest girl, but...

It's only because she just very much follows her instinct and follows her heart.

She's not worried about anything else.

She's not worried about any social rules.

And she's very fortunate to be living in a community of very kind and sweet people who are here to guide her to what might be a smarter decision.

Because if she was out in the wild on her own, I don't know how she'd get on.

Exactly.

And I find that if I don't feel entirely present on stage when I'm playing her, I don't feel like her.
