Dear England

 

So, in the wake of the Lionesses' victory at the Euros, a brief reflection on Dear England at the National.
As you can perhaps see, the stage set was stark, and effective.  
The play was fine, with wit and humour. It was mostly about Gareth Southgate and his humanising of the role.  And it worked well, when talking about the old English fear and failure at penalties.

But, I can't help but think the large number of men in England shirts sitting in the row in fron to me were hoping for aa show about football.  And the glories of England...

Oh, well.
