The Damned United Heads to London!
We are thrilled to announce that following a stomping month-long run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2 – 28 Aug, Pleasance Courtyard), THE DAMNED UNITED continues its UK-wide tour this autumn with a week-long run at Pleasance Islington, in the heart of London. Down the stairs… Along the corridor… Round the corner… Into the dressing room… HIS dressing room.
Hateful, hateful place Spiteful, spiteful place. Dirty, dirty Leeds. 1974. Brian Clough, the enfant terrible of British football, tries to redeem his career and reputation by winning the European Cup with his new team. Leeds United. The team he has openly despised for years, the team he hates and which hates him. Don Revie’s Leeds. Adapted from David Peace’s brilliant and ingenious novel, The Damned United takes you inside the tortured mind of a genius slamming up against his limits, and brings to life the beauty and brutality of football, the working man’s ballet.
And why not spend 3 minutes with author of the critically acclaimed novel (of the same name) that inspired Red Ladder’s stage adaptation, David Peace. Six Questions for David Peace>>
