★★★★★ “Brilliant” – The FT

Red Pitch is the smash-hit, sold-out story of brotherhood, written by multi award-winning playwright Tyrell Williams.

Experience the full-throttle power of one of the hit productions of the year in director Daniel Bailey’s “energetic, artfully staged production” (Evening Standard), about three football-obsessed teens.

The play stars Kedar Williams-Stirling (Sex Education), Emeka Sesay (The Power) and Francis Lovehall (A Thousand Blows), all reprising their original, acclaimed roles.

Don’t miss this fast-paced, coming-of-age play – coming to the West End’s @sohoplace theatre this March 2024.

Red Pitch. South London. Three lifelong friends Omz, Bilal and Joey are playing football. Like they always have. Living out dreams of football stardom. Beyond their football pitch, local shops are closing, old flats are being demolished as new flats shoot up, some residents struggle to stay while others rush to leave.

When a small football pitch has been a home from home, a place you’ve laughed, fought and forged friendships, what happens when it’s under threat?
