JUMPERS FOR GOALPOSTS

Theatre |
8th October 2013

“I’m not asking you to win. I’m asking you to just: chuck your face at it, have a, have a fucking good go at it. And then we’ll. Yeah. We’ll see.”

Luke wants Danny, but Danny's got a secret. Joe wants to play second fiddle, but Geoff wants a headline gig. Viv just wants to beat the lesbians to the league title. Game on.

Set in the scruffy changing room used by a hapless team of friends who play for Barely Athletic, a five-a-side football team in the Gay and Lesbian Sunday League- Jumpers For Goalposts is a hilarious and heart-warming comedy about football, friendship and finding your way in the world from award-winning playwright Tom Wells.
