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.

The play was great, access to the bar was easy, would have been better if you could go to the toilet during the play and not just at the interval.

Great play, lovely atmosphere, good queue handling. Only problem, too many people at the bar during interval. Theatre needs a second bar or more staff to handle orders

Exciting, funny, gripping, thought provoking. Great from start to finish. Covering pressure young men feel today. History and living in the past rather than realistic and positive futures. Really loved it as did my Mum and 17 year old Thank you!
