Content warning [May contain spoilers]
In this satirical black comedy set in the mid-2000s, a traumatic career-ending injury splits the trajectories of two promising football academy bros, with Wesley Lennox becoming an arrogant sporting star, while his former best friend Tricky falls into a life of increasingly reckless football hooliganism. What happens when a no-nonsense nanny and a secret relationship enter the mix?
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
