Red Pitch - NHB Modern Plays

'The way they're changing endz is nuts.' Red Pitch. South London. Three lifelong friends Omz, Bilal and Joey are playing football. Like they always have. Living out dreams of football stardom. Beyond their football pitch, local shops are closing, old flats are being demolished as new flats shoot up, some residents struggle to stay while others rush to leave. When your local football pitch has been a home from home, a place where you've laughed, fought and forged friendships, what happens when it's under threat? A coming-of-age story about what it means to belong somewhere, Tyrell Williams' fast-paced and sharp-edged play tells a powerful story about gentrification, regeneration and the impact of this relentless change on London's communities. Red Pitch was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in February 2022, directed by Associate Artistic Director Daniel Bailey. An earlier version of the play was presented in June 2019, as part of the Untold Season at Ovalhouse, London.
