About the Show

Tyrell Williams’ play exploring gentrification in London communities transfers to the West End.

Beyond Omz, Bilal, and Joey's local football pitch, old flats are being demolished in favour of new ones, businesses are closing down and some residents struggle to stay. The three lifelong friends discover that their football pitch - their home away from home - is under threat from the gentrification suffocating their community.

Daniel Bailey directs this production, which transfers to the West End following a run at the Bush Theatre in 2023.

This production is recommended for ages 14+.
