THE drama at Frome Town Football Club moves from the pitch to the stage next week when the club plays host to a one-woman play direct from London’s West End!
On Monday 14th March, local actress Hannah Kumari brings the fantastic ENG-ER-LAND stage show to the clubhouse.
About the show the club says, “ENG-ER-LAND is a one-woman play, written and performed by Hannah Kumari, about football, race, the 90s and what it means to be English. Oh and there’s dancing too! After a sold-out run of four performances in London’s West End in June 2021, it’s here live at Frome Town Football Club.”
The play’s synopsis says, “1997. Last year England made it to the semi-finals of Euro 96, Gina G came third in Eurovision and 13-year-old Lizzie went to her first in-person football game: Coventry vs. Manchester City.
“Not the Man City of today, oil and superstars, but the old Man City – a bit rubbish, but with good fans. Lizzie fell in love with the beautiful game that day, and she’s been obsessed ever since. But then something happens to make her question her place in the stands. ENG-ER-LAND is an energetic play about who’s really on your team. This production is aimed at an adult audience and older teens (15+).”
There are an initial 100 tickets available for the show, with a reduced price for the club’s Season Ticket holders, Supporters Club members, Supporter Members and Flexi Ticket holders – referred to as ‘Members’ in this instance.
Tickets cost £7.50 or for Members it’s £5.
The performance is being supported by The Football Supporters’ Association and with public funding from Arts Council England.
