Dear England

A new play by James Graham
Directed by Rupert Goold

Starring Joseph Fiennes

Set design Es Devlin
 
 

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’ (The Handmaid’s Tale) portrayal of Gareth Southgate is pitch-perfect in this thrilling new play by James Graham (Sherwood), with set design by Es Devlin. Graham reunites with director Rupert Goold, following their acclaimed productions of Tammy Faye and Ink, in this gripping stage epic about both nation and game.

Filmed live on stage during its sold out run at the National Theatre, Rupert Goold (Judy) directs this spectacular new play which is certainly one to watch!

Please note this is a fictionalised account of the struggles and successes of England’s football teams, based on extensive research and interviews. It features characters inspired by some real-life individuals, and some composite characters entirely imagined by the author.
