Red Pitch

Tyrell Williams' award-winning Red Pitch returns at Soho Place Theatre

Red Pitch, celebrated by critics as a ‘remarkable, next-level coming-of-age story’ (The Stage) by acclaimed writer Tyrell Williams, transfers to London’s newest West End theatre, following two sold-out, award-winning runs at the Bush Theatre.​

Kedar Williams-Stirling (Sex Education), Emeka Sesay (The Power) and Francis Lovehall (Small Axe) are directed by Daniel Bailey in the award-winning ‘energetic, artfully staged production’ (Evening Standard) about brotherhood, ambition, girls, community, and what it really means to belong.​

Red Pitch is the unprecedented winner of all five Major Best Debut Play awards.

What happens when your football pitch, a place you’ve laughed, fought, and forged friendships – the very existence of your closeknit community – is threatened by impending demolition? Can three lifelong friends continue to dream of stardom, or will their goals be torn down alongside their home?

Fast-paced and sharp-edged, Red Pitch ‘is beautifully crafted, empathetically acted and deftly directed’ (Time Out). A truly powerful story, packed full of joy, that’s ‘smart, sophisticated playwriting at its best’ (WhatsOnStage).​

Opening 15 March for 58 performances only Red Pitch is the must-see play of 2024, you won’t want to miss.
