The performance was excellent. All the actors and one female were truly stunning. I know nothing about football and understood it all. Staging was excellent too. Only think is 3 tickets cost over £400 which means it's once in a life time experience for me. No more can I do this. Ticket prices are for the rich and well off. Shame on all theatres.
