Dear England
Closed
Winner of Best New Play and Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Will Close) at the Olivier Awards 2024
The smash-hit production of DEAR ENGLAND transfers to the Prince Edward Theatre this Autumn, following a sold-out run at the National Theatre.
Joseph Fiennes‘ portrayal of Gareth Southgate is ‘pitch-perfect‘ (Time Out) in this ‘thrilling’ (Sunday Times) new play by James Graham, with set design by Es Devlin. Graham reunites with director Rupert Goold, following their acclaimed productions of Tammy Faye and Ink, in this gripping ‘new stage epic‘ (Telegraph) about both nation and game.
It’s time to change the game.

It’s time to change the game. The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game? With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt to take team and country back to the promised land.
