Dear England, awarded Best New Play at the 2024 Olivier Awards, has returned to the National Theatre with significant updates reflecting recent events, including the England team's loss in the UEFA Euros 2024. Written by James Graham and featuring cast changes such as Gwilym Lee replacing Joseph Fiennes, the play examines themes of national identity through football. Its joyful tone and engaging performances challenge traditional notions of theatre, appealing to a broader audience and creating an electrifying atmosphere reminiscent of a football match.
The stage is circular with concentric rings that rotate in alternate directions, enhancing the dynamic portrayal of the England national team in this jubilant theatrical experience.
Dear England is joyful, jubilant and funny, presenting an engaging ensemble that humorously portrays not just players, but also managers and pundits.
