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?

With the worst track record for penalties in the world, England 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.

The original production recently transferred to the West End where it runs at the Prince Edward Theatre to 13 January 2024. Tickets are on sale now here.
