Patrick Marber's The Red Lion transfers to Trafalgar Studios this November
The Red Lion will transfer to Trafalgar Studios from Wednesday 1 November to 2 December 2017 after a sell-out run at Live Theatre in Newcastle.
The show is about different generations of football fans and director Max Roberts’ version is set in the dressing room of a semi-professional football club in the North East.
Stephen Tompkinson, John Bowler and Dean Bone will reprise their roles for the transfer.
Roberts said: "Whilst the play is inherently accessible, full of salty dialogue and laugh out loud set pieces its lyrical qualities to my mind seem to be enhanced by the north-east vernacular brought vividly to life by Stephen Tompkinson, John Bowler and Dean Bone who also compellingly represent the characters emotional complexity."
Patrick Marber said: "To an extent the play is dramatising something about England; that there is one strain of thought which is about community, tolerance and belonging, and there is another which represents a whole counter trajectory about what England could or should be; that England is a business."
The Red Lion is at Trafalgar Studios from Wednesday 1 November to 2 December 2017.
