Good cast!, Humorous, Gentrification, Rich culture, New writing

See it if you want to explore the impact of gentrification. Uncertain future & challenges lie ahead, a plan B is needed, told with honesty & humour.

Don't see it if drama about youth & inner city culture is not your preferred choice of theatre.

For a previous production

As well as a coming-of-age story, this is an account of social displacement by gentrification...It’s still rare to see a play about young, black, working-class youths on our stages: rarer still to see one in which they are celebrated like this.

A promising debut about football, friendship and gentrification...While the writing doesn’t always dig deep, the piece gathers momentum thanks to Daniel Bailey’s crisp direction and the strong performances.

The Independent (UK)
February 23rd, 2022
For a previous production

The play is a triumphant take on flux and football in a fast-changing south London neighbourhood...Under the direction of the Bush Theatre’s associate artistic director Daniel Bailey, there’s barely a moment of silence, with laugh-out-loud dialogue overlapping as each boy fights to have the last say.

For a previous production

It’s difficult to believe that this is Tyrell Williams’ debut. It’s intelligent, nuanced and the dialogue is tight...It’s a next-level coming-of-age story.
