Description
FUFC is a heartfelt, poignant and semi-autobiographical play exploring a world upended by the shocking news of a prostate cancer diagnosis. Set on a muddy football pitch under a hungover council sky, FUFC captures a heartwarming moment of genuine connection between two old friends. This touching play reminds us that even in our darkest moments, the bonds of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit can bring hope. This intimate theatrical experience speaks to the challenges, hopes and camaraderie that unite us all.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Two men at a football match...matches well, men talking about feelings.... rarely goes together, men talking about feelings at football... hardly goes together at all, men talking about their health or a serious illness and their associated fears while playing football ... don't go together at all...
You would probably think that at first and will be surprised by the highly sensitive play.
Two men are talking on the edge of the football field about what really concerns and frightens them, the fear that suddenly determines the life of one of them facing one of the worst diagnoses one could get called "cancer", and a friend who, like probably all of us, doesn't know how to react at first, doesn't know what suitable or inappropriate words are and then finds great, sensitive and "best friend words" for his pal. An intense and well-acted play that also leaves enough room for situational comedy and laughter and is intended to raise awareness of a topic that has not yet come into the focus of (men's) society. Definitely worth seeing!!
