The Red Lion, directed by David Thacker, will be performed at The Kings Arms in Manchester on 2 October 2026. This production offers a look inside a non-league football club's changing room and is priced at £10.00.
Patrick Marber’s The Red Lion takes us inside the changing room of a tiny non-league football club, where three people from three generations fight over talent, ambition and the club’s soul. Fierce, funny and deeply moving, this is a theatre experience for those who live for football—and those who have never been to a match—about people, relationships, community and finding somewhere in the world that feels like home.
David Thacker is an Olivier Award-winning theatre and television director known for his highly acclaimed work with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Young Vic, and the Octagon Theatre in Bolton.
