Description

A joyful, heart-warming tale of hope, resilience, and triumph - inspired by the true lives of extraordinary women. This uplifting story brings together the lives of five women who, against all odds, unite on the football pitch to chase an impossible dream: to win the Homeless World Cup. The stories of real women take centre stage in this vital and witty new play, which was created with the women of Street Soccer Scotland. Directed by Bryony Shanahan (Bloody Elle, Enough), this joyful story of teamwork and overcoming the odds returns for extra time after delighting audiences last December.
