First look rehearsal images have been released for Fever Pitch, a new theatrical adaptation of Nick Hornby’s best-selling memoir about one man’s utter obsession with Arsenal Football Club. Fever Pitch will open at The Hope Theatre in Islington on 31 August, playing until 25 September.
Arsenal Football Club have also committed to maintaining existing links with the theatre, and will bring some of the community groups it works with – who might not otherwise have access to arts and culture – into The Hope Theatre to see Fever Pitch. The Hope Theatre will also be releasing 10% of all tickets for Fever Pitch free to residents of Islington.
Fever Pitch will star Ashley Gerlach as ‘Pete/Ensemble’, Gabrielle MacPherson as ‘Sarah/Ensemble’, Jack Trueman as ‘Nick’ and Louise Hoare as ‘Louise/Ensemble’.
