Recenzii

In turn funny and touching, the script takes on current themes relevant to urban societies - alcohol, drugs, porn culture, debt, austerity, disability, single-parent families, bereavement - and deals with them without much sensationalism, but as just the daily circumstances that the central character, Kenny Glynn, has to negotiate in his journey towards adulthood.
This is about the games, but it's also about the experience of being a fan - the Saturday routine, the journey you go on, the mates you meet, the pubs you stop off at, the fanatics you walk past, the concession stands, and then this euphoric feeling as you come out into the stand, into the noise.
An innovative, ground-breaking and brave production...it captures the emotional highs and tortuous lows of being a football fan.
