The hilarious true story of the West Auckland miners football team winning the first world cup in 1909 premiered in Durham last year to wonderful reviews - see below - and with most of the original cast returning should not be missed.

 


“I adored this production… a glorious two hours of comedic genius. If there is any justice it will soon be playing to packed auditoriums up and down the country.” Newcastle Evening Chronicle


 


“Humbling and uplifting, laced with pathos, comedy, historical commentary but mostly enormous character, the brilliant dialogue and banter shine through, truly a winning performance”  North East Live


 


“Studded with working-class humour, high-brow wit and thought-provoking dialogue” Sunderland Echo


 


“Very funny, a brilliant, ball-busting occasion -  it may be easier to get a ticket for the Cup final but if you can, go quickly” Northern Echo


 


“Hilarious, but it’s the engaging characters which make it such a success” The Journal


 


“A real triumph which perfectly brings back to life a forgotten episode and pitches it back into the 21st century floodlights. It’s very very funny as well.” www.fansonline.net


 


“A great night’s entertainment …bringing the theatre to a young, male audience who might otherwise be out of reach”  Durham Times


 


“I would definitely recommend this to everyone. A brilliant play and really funny”  Fly Me to the Moon (Middlesbrough fanzine)
