Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads

Roy Williams

Saturday 7 October 2000. England v Germany. The King George v The Duke of York. Keegan resigns and Barry plays a blinder. Tensions erupt in a South London pub as England lose again.

'What does it mean to be English? How much does it take to qualify? How long do you have to be here to belong and is the equality of the races just a dream?'
Evening Standard

'A remarkable play. It packs a devastating punch'
Daily Telegraph

'Williams shows the depth and variety of Anglicised racism… a noisily effective play'
Guardian

'Powerful… Williams handles racism in London from so many angles that we can't predict which way the plot will go' Financial Times

Roy Williams' critically acclaimed play was first seen in the National's 2002 Transformation season. His other work includes Clubland (Evening Standard Award 2001 for Most Promising Playwright) and Fallout.
