The world premiere of Red Pitch by Tyrell Williams, a fast-paced, sharp-edged, and powerful story about gentrification and the impact of this relentless change on London’s communities opens at the Bush Theatre on 16 February.
The cast is Kedar Williams-Stirling (Sex Education), Emeka Sesay (Pretty Red Dress), and Francis Lovehall (Death on the Nile).
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?
Daniel will be assisted by Monaé Robinson who is the recipient of the Resident Director Bursary programme at the Bush Theatre, working closely with the artistic team to bring to life the creative vision of the team.
