Dear England

The smash-hit National Theatre production transfers to the West End this October for 14 weeks only.

It’s time to change the game. The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game? With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt to take team and country back to the promised land.

Joseph Fiennes’ portrayal of Gareth Southgate is ‘pitch-perfect’ (Time Out) in this thrilling’ (Sunday Times) new play by James Graham. Directed by Rupert Goold, with set design by Es Devlin, Dear England is a gripping ‘new stage epic’ (Telegraph) about both nation and game.
