Red Pitch, the smash-hit story of brotherhood returns to London @sohoplace, following two sold-out, award-winning runs at the Bush Theatre.
Experience the sheer full-throttle power of this popular stage production as it returns to the capital starring Emeka Sesay, Kedar Williams-Stirling, and Francis Lovehall as three football-mad teenagers in an “energetic, artfully staged production” (Evening Standard) directed by Daniel Bailey.
‘The way they’re changing endz is nuts.’
South London. Three lifelong friends Bilal, Omz, and Joey are playing football on the Red Pitch like they always have. Living out their dreams of football stardom. But beyond their football pitch, old flats are being demolished, local shops are closing, and as the new shiny flats shoot up, some less well-off residents struggle to stay while others rush to get out.
When a local football pitch is your home from home, a happy and safe place where you’ve laughed, fought, and forged friendships, what do you do when it’s under threat?
Red Pitch is a fast-paced and sharp-edged play by Tyrell Williams that tells a powerful and poignant story of gentrification vs regeneration and the social impact of this continued and relentless change on London’s communities.
Opening on 15th March for just 58 performances, Red Pitch is the must-see play of 2024. You won’t want to miss it.
