Old Red Lion Theatre Sets a Season of Sport

The Old Red Lion Theatre is proud to present London's first festival of sports in theatre, a season of work exploring the highs and the lows of the sporting world. Tackling homophobia, bullying, tragedy and triumph, as the UK gears up for Euro 2016, Dressing Rooms offers a month of stunning theatre. Featuring Richard Sheridan's acclaimed Odd Shaped Balls, Forrester & Fletcher's dystopian satire of a world without football One Year Off and Jamie Eastlake's adrenaline-laced revival of Luke Barnes' Bottleneck.

ODD SHAPED BALLS - 31st May - 25th June
(7.30pm Tues - Sat, 3pm Sat & Sun matinee)

Odd Shaped Balls is a funny and poignant one-man show, which tackles issues of homophobia & sexuality in sport and the pressures of intrusive media attention. With his life crumbling around him, does James have the courage not only to be true to himself, but also to be a role model for others?

ONE YEAR OFF - 7th - 12th June
(9pm Tues - Sat, 4.30pm Sat matinee)

One Year Off tells the story of a UK-wide ban on football. The government has prohibited the sport for 12 months in a bid to improve the nation's Happiness Index. Anyone found to be engaging with the beautiful game will be arrested. Even Goldenballs.

BOTTLENECK - 14th - 25th June
(9pm Tues - Sat, 4.30pm Sat & Sun matinee)
