Description

You're a f*cking dinner lady who now thinks she's Jose Mourinho. Why would speaking to you help?

In a forgotten town stitched together with broken bus shelters and fading murals of past glory, one woman wants to change everything. A teenage football squad charges through a world of projected noise - collapsing housing estates, Instagram hearts fluttering like confetti, graffiti glowing like prophecy. This is England, but skewed - off-balance, spinning.

Blue jeans, a whistle, and a Neil Diamond playlist - Big Ange, the dinner lady has got this.

“It's worth it. All of it. No matter what you or the high and mighty think. You think it's hate. It's not. It's wanting summat better for the bairn. You lot march for justice - I'm ready to bleed for it.”

Olivier award-winning Jamie Eastlake's brand new play explores growing up in a fractured political world. With footy (obvs).

This edition was published to coincide with the production at Live Theatre in November 2025.
