Theatres and coronavirus

From Monday 19 July, theatres in London are allowed to operate without capacity limits.

And all legal restrictions imposed by the government will be removed.

However, most theatres will still be following procedures such as electronic ticketing etc and may require masks to be worn.

Note that some performances have been cancelled where cast or staff have tested positive and need to isolate.

We advise checking theatre websites for the latest information and what you can expect when visiting.

Synopsis

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 a small football pitch has been a home from home, a place 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 to a place.
