Description

Shaun Woods has been a football manager for the last 30 years. But the beautiful game, as he knows better than anyone, is no place for honesty. As Shaun's secrets and demons close in on him, he's faced with his private life and his previous traumas coming back to destroy him. For Shaun, the game doesn't last 90 minutes, it's a battle with no full-time whistle. ***** (i Newspaper). Written by Rob Crossan. Performed by Fringe First Award winner Chris Larner. Produced by INK, the UK's leading producer of new short plays.
