Sparked by a conversation with a childhood friend that unearthed a long-forgotten obsession with football, Bryony wondered why all the girls she knew stopped playing football in their teens. It's 1998: Geri Halliwell is leaving the Spice Girls, David Beckham is wearing a sarong, and somewhere in England a 10-year-old Bryony is pretending to be Eric Cantona. An absurd and tongue-in-cheek ride through British adolescence set against a backdrop of 90s football and pop. Directed by Fringe First winner Ben Target and packed to the brim with playful audience interaction, 90s bangers, clown comedy and drag.

"I'd say the main difference in coming as a stage manager vs as a performer is that as a stage manager I get my accommodation paid for!"

"It's a show about football but it's also a coming of age story, from innocence to experience, and I wanted to bring that playfulness into the room to remind us of the children we used to be".
