The southeast premiere of a red-hot play about futbol, friendship, and coming of age in a constantly shifting world. This critically acclaimed play originated at London’s Bush Theatre before transferring to the West End in April 2024.
Red Pitch by Tyrell Williams / Feb 5 – 22, 2026
Red Pitch tells the story of Bilal, Omz, and Joey, three boys growing up in south London. As gentrification and economic development threaten to destroy their neighborhood, these lifelong friends must reckon with what it means to grow up in a world that is constantly changing around them, while finding solace in the game of soccer and the community they’re building for themselves. Red Pitch originally played at London’s Bush Theatre before transferring to the West End in 2024.
