en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2006
Saturday 7 October 2000. England v Germany, The King George v The Duke of York. Keegan resigns and Barry plays a blinder. Tensions erupt in a South London pub as England lose again.
First produced at the National Theatre in 2002, Sing Yer Hearts Out for the Lads became a controversial classic exploring racial tension against the backdrop of an England football match watched in a south London pub.
The play highlights how a surface acceptance of racial differences is easily destoryed leading to violent escalation and the polarisation of racial groups.

Recenzii

The material is raw and real and is miserably just as relevant now as it was 17 years ago ...
This is the sort of gutsy, uncompromising and bold drama that is sorely lacking in today's inoffensive, watered-down theatre industry
This searing, finely crafted play, pivoting around two pairs of brothers - one white and one black - remains vexingly relevant
As the pub's own football team arrives to watch the match, Williams shows how generalised xenophobia conceals a more specific racism ... Williams [sharply] delineates the different faces of British racism.
A fascinating play to explore with an A-Level group keen to discuss national, cultural and ethnic identity.
Premiered at the National Theatre in 2002, Roy Williams's ferocious, funny and disturbing play takes aim at what it means to be black, white and English in twenty-first century Britain. Scoring high on foul language, threat and vulgar humour, Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads is definitely not for the faint of heart.
