England v Germany -
the last match at the old Wembley Stadium
Rated 14
Sing Yer Heart Out For The Lads
Tuesday 10 - Saturday 14 October
 

The King George's regulars meet to watch the World Cup qualifying game. As the match is played out on the big screen, other rivalries come to the fore. Barry, the pub team's star black striker, may have a Union Jack tattooed on his bum and chant "Inger-land" along with the rest but we soon realise that he is a barely tolerated outsider.

Performed at the National Theatre in 2002 this is the first time Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads has been performed outside of London. Award-winning writer Roy Williams, author of 2005's Little Sweet Thing, explores Britain's obsessions with football, race and national identity at the sharp end.

"Williams' writing snaps and crackles, his characters burst with life, emotion and contradiction" The Guardian

"A remarkable play. It packs a devastating punch" The Daily Telegraph

"A fierce, brave and important play" The Sunday Times
