Red Pitch

Winner of all five Off-West End Awards for Best New Play

Bilal, Joey, and Omz have been boys their whole lives, growing up together playing soccer on their small pitch outside their south London apartments. But change is coming. Professional teams are signing up prospects, and they all harbor dreams to be chosen. Moreover, the neighborhood is changing, with lots of new apartments and franchise coffee shops pushing out longtime residents and local favorites. Can their friendship survive the threatened demise of their beloved “red pitch” and all it represents? This engrossing new play was such a hit in its initial run at London’s Bush Theatre (the same theatre that premiered Sleepova) that it earned a West End transfer, playing to critical and popular acclaim.

Starring: Ty'Ree Hope Davis (Bilal), Terrence Griffin (Joey), Angelo Harrington II (Omz)

“Tackling gentrification, change, and ambition, Tyrell Williams’s writing creates a convincing bond in a play that is fierce, affectionate and effortlessly funny.” - The Guardian

“So good … It’s a brilliant bit of writing about gentrification, friendship, masculinity, and aspiration, without ever being heavy-handed.” - Time Out London
