One crowd sharing one colour, one song and one wish. Every goal and every near miss brings a pride almost too much to bear. Winning is amazing. In this pioneering world premiere, hundreds of Aston Villa, Birmingham City, and West Bromwich Albion fans unite to share their surprising, funny, heartbreaking stories. From friendships formed to partners left behind, all aspects of fandom are explored. Inspired by his father's love of the sport, acclaimed theatre maker Mohamed El Khatib explores why football inspires passion like nothing else. Just why is 'the beautiful game' so beautiful?
