Synopsis
Dear England
Published by Methuen Drama
Large Mixed Cast
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?
The team has the worst track record for penalties in the world and manager 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.
James Graham’s ‘rousing new play’ (Tatler), Dear England, offers a fastmoving portrayal of Gareth Southgate’s reign as England football manager that presents a gripping examination of both nation and game.
Uplifting, funny and more entertaining than a World Cup final.
REVIEWS
"Dear England ... is witty, clever and at times heart-in-mouth exciting enough to win over even those who don’t care about football" ~ Evening Standard
"Far more than a tale about a few men kicking a ball around, Dear England is full of surprising depth and emotion" ~ All That Dazzles
