Football’s coming home to Liverpool next month with an award-winning production.
Dear England will run from Tuesday, March 3 until Saturday, March 7 at the Empire Theatre, telling the story of the national game through a rollercoaster of emotions
Gareth Southgate’s revolutionary tenure as Three Lions’ manager is the focus of the show with a gripping examination of nation and the ‘beautiful game’ in that time.
The show explores how Southgate and his squads redefined a sense of national belonging in the wake of England’s Euro 2020 final loss on penalties to Italy.
Acclaimed staged and screen writer James Graham has produced the story alongside artistic director Rupert Goold from London’s Almeida Theatre.
Jack Maddison portrays Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who plays a pivotal role in those dreaded penalty shoot-outs at major tournaments.
Former Eastenders and Liverpool 1 actress Samantha Womack stars as the national side’s game-changing team psychologist Pippa Grange.
Dear England’s run in Liverpool comes ahead of a four-part series starring Joseph Fiennes and Jodie Whittaker being shown on the BBC later this year.
