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? Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Gareth Southgate in playwright James Graham’s gripping examination of the nation's game. With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face the role of the national men’s football team in the national psyche. The play explores how Southgate helped challenge notions of masculinity on the England team. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre.
