Among many other works, Marta Buchaca, the renowned playwright and author of well-known works such as Girls Shouldn’t Play Football, Litus and Losers, has written Playoff for LaJoven. A tragicomedy that reflects upon the role of women and female sports in a society that still displays fierce male chauvinism in many areas. Playoff shows the interiorities of a female’s football team and inside the changing room, you’ll see jealousy, dreams, doubts and fears of some girls who only want to live on their passion. Playoff, premiered in January 2018 at Teatro Conde Duque in Madrid, in 2019 was awarded the Territorio Violeta prize at the MADferia for ‘its commitment to equality’.
