Headlong Presents
The English Game
A Comedy by Richard Bean
The Nightwatchmen: an amateur London cricket team, making up for in enthusiasm what they lack in ability. “I’ve wasted the whole of my life playing this game. It’s claimed my knees and it occupies every spare synapse in my brain. I’m not even
sure I like it anymore…” As they gather on a sunny Sunday to
face Bernard and his ethnically diverse and highly talented squad, Will, Thiz, Clive and their team-mates spend the day smoking, drinking tea and discussing love, politics and the
LBW rule…
Headlong Theatre is proud to present Richard Bean’s dazzling new play, exploring the modern British psyche
through the powerful lens of a simple game of cricket. Brilliantly funny, true and touching, The English Game
is, in the same moment, a timely and revealing look at the political and social tensions which underpin modern society.
"A marvellously funny and humane dramatist” The Daily Telegraph on Richard Bean
