SOUTHGATE, YOU'RE THE ONE

Coming back to London March 2025!

Olivier-winning play by James Graham 'Dear England' is back and heading to London's National Theatre! Gareth Southgate's transformation of the England men's national football team in the hearts and minds of the nation is celebrated and explored in Dear England! This gripping play charts the glory, heartache and cultural reset of the Three Lions over the best part of the past decade under Southgate's command.

Inheriting a squad of underperforming celebrity footballers with a culture of glitz, glamour and ego, Southgate's reign as England manager has seen him quietly transform the national team into a grounded group of individuals seen by many to represent not just the country's top talent, but also the breadth of modern English society; players who stand up for societal issues outside of the game and, importantly, who have achieved feats on the pitch not seen in generations, uniting and inspiring even those who were not normally football fans.
