Charley Webb’s New Role Is Nothing Like Debbie Dingle!
Meanwhile, Charley Webb opened up about the play. She said that she has always liked football and was always interested in the story. The former soap star said that not many people know that Football was banned a long time ago and was brought back in the 1970s. Furthermore, Charley described her character, who has five children and a husband who is at war.
However, the character doesn’t want to get involved in Football first. It is a slow process. Furthermore, the actor spoke about her switch between performing on stage and filming. She said that it is really good and it is a case of adapting. She finished something at the end of last year, and that was filming. Charley added that it is fun to work with an all-female cast.
She added that when one is doing theatre, there is a live reaction, while television is different. The audience is different. It is better to observe their humour. Charley said that there is something in there for everyone. Meanwhile, her play has a lot of comedy, and a female feel to it. So, people will enjoy it. Are you excited for the play?
