It’s time to rewrite the narrative. The nation that invented football has long endured heartbreak on the world stage—none more infamous than England’s record with penalties. But under Gareth Southgate’s leadership, things begin to change. Determined to confront the ghosts of the past, he embarks on a journey to unite a team and inspire a nation.
From acclaimed writer James Graham (Sherwood, BBC) and visionary director Rupert Goold (Patriots, Cold War), Dear England is a powerful, moving, and often funny exploration of national identity, sport, and redemption. Hailed as a “new stage epic” by The Telegraph, this five-star production captivates both football lovers and newcomers alike.
David Sturzaker (BBC’s Doctors) stars as Southgate, with Samantha Womack (EastEnders, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) as team psychologist Pippa Grange. A co-production with JAS Theatricals.
