How to get Dear England tickets for its West End transfer
British playwright James Graham shoots and scores with this play about Gareth Southgate's England squad. Following its transfer from The National Theatre, here's how to get Dear England tickets today.
It's been a fantastic few weeks for football in England with the women's national football team making it to the final of the FIFA Women's World Cup, and for theatre fans, it's about to get even better.
Are you ready to have a ball with James Graham's phenomenal play about the England men's football team? You might have thought Dear England's season was up as its run at London's Olivier Theatre came to a close, but the transfer news has just come in, and Graham's play has been signed to the Prince Edward Theatre in the West End from October this year — lucky us!
Dear England is a fictionalised account of football manager Gareth Southgate's England team based on extensive research and interviews, as well as characters who bare resemblance to real-life England squad players. The National Theatre play stars Joseph Fiennes, of Shakespeare in Love and The Handmaid's Tale fame, as Southgate.
Speaking about Dear England, playwright Graham said: "to put the National Game on the stage of The National Theatre has been an utter dream and, in particular, to see the subject matter draw in new audiences to watch a play. It fills me with such excitement and joy to be bringing Rupert’s euphoric and entertaining production to the West End, with all its incredible movement and music and — what seems to be, for audiences so far — a deeply moving story inspired by the incredible journey of the men’s England football team."
With director Rupert Goold adding: "I have thoroughly loved making Dear England with James, at the National Theatre. We have an incredible team of artists and actors and it’s been a joy to see audiences so engaged with this production, many of whom were young people visiting theatre for the first time. I can’t wait to transfer it to the West End and give even more people the opportunity to experience this brilliant play.”
