EVEN BETTER with a ‘proper’ ending this time. Enjoyed it first time but after Southgate’s resignation; the updated ending felt like a heartfelt closure. And the ‘new’ Garath is as good if not better than in the previous production.
If you seen it before; don’t hesitate to see it again.

So pleased to have had the opportunity to catch this fantastic play. Despite being Danish the emotions and pride made me ‘almost’ feel English.Read more →

A brilliant example of how a well-told story can be interesting and inspiring no matter the subject. The play is extraordinary beautiful, fascinating and filled with so much joy you can’t stay behind. It’s like watching an award-winning sports movie and a World Cup at the same time. I am not a football fan, but oh my **** this play is now one of my favourites.Read more →

Brilliantly cast, Joseph Fiennes WAS Gareth Southgate! A really heartwarming play set in the strong masculine culture of football, wonderful humour and vintage footage of the Beautiful Game made it an absolute joy to watch.
A great opportunity to bring young people to the theatre who have a passion for football, combining actual theatre and the theatre of the beautiful game!
My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire show with its amazing stage set and the Prince Edward theatre is a real gem with its gorgeous outside balcony bar, even in November!Read more →

Excellent new play about football and Gareth Southgate, but really about so much more. The stunning direction and simple setting makes highly effective use of sound, light and movement from an outstanding cast headed by the totally convincing Jo Fiennes and supported by Dervla Kerwin. There were many thrills, none of them cheap. A deserved success.Read more →

Dear England “opens a less well-known dimension of football to both aficionados and novices”. See my full review here: www.operationlivetheatre.com/post/dear-EnglandRead more →
The laughs the tears the highs and the lows, what a roller coaster of this wonderful game and it delivered on everything - thoroughly enjoyed it, brought back some great memories and I think added more to the game letting people look at it from a Manager and a players position as opposed to a fan of the games position - Loved it!!Read more →

Funny, engaging and entertaining whether you are a football fan or not.
Clever set , good acting with fun music at times. Touches on a diverse variety of subjects like psychology, mental health, racism and leadership.
