Red Pitch, celebrated by critics as a “remarkable, next-level coming-of-age story” by acclaimed writer Tyrell Williams, transfers to London’s newest West End theatre, @sohoplace, following 2 sold-out, award-winning runs at the Bush Theatre.
Kedar Williams-Stirling (Sex Education), Emeka Sesay (The Power) and Francis Lovehall (Small Axe) are directed by Daniel Bailey in the award-winning “energetic, artfully staged production” (Evening Standard) about brotherhood, ambition, girls, community, and what it really means to belong.
Red Pitch is the unprecedented winner of all 5 Major Best Debut Play awards.
What happens when your football pitch, a place you’ve laughed, fought, and forged friendships - the very existence of your closeknit community - is threatened by impending demolition? Can 3 lifelong friends continue to dream of stardom, or will their goals be torn down alongside their home?
Fast-paced and sharp-edged, Red Pitch “is beautifully crafted, empathetically acted and deftly directed” (Time Out). A truly powerful story, packed full of joy, that’s "smart, sophisticated playwriting at its best" (WhatsOnStage).
Opening 15 March for 58 performances only Red Pitch is the must-see play of 2024, you won’t want to miss.
