Dear England – Red Carpet Preview

Red Carpet Preview Screening
February 1 @ 6:30pm
Enjoy a glass of sparkling on arrival!

Be the first to experience the acclaimed stage play filmed live on stage at the National Theatre and starring Emmy Award nominee Joseph Fiennes. A fictionalised account of the struggles and successes of England's football teams, this is a gripping portrait of the pressures of elite sport and the role of the men's football team in the national psyche.

Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Gareth Southgate in James Graham’s (Best of Enemies) gripping examination of nation and 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.
