Having been a soccer (I'm British, its football to us) stepdad, I can relate well to this play. What starts as a first meet on the touch line of their sons football match, soon turns a lot deeper as both mens stories unfold. I feel this is the start of a great friendship where Saturday morning beers are shared. Very good! (BTW in the UK at kids football, it is now almost forbidden for parents to shout at the ref haha!)

Male bonding on the sidelines of their kids soccer game. Chet's relaxed acceptance and 'she'll be right, mate' attitude is what self-doubting Keith needs to hear. A charming, well paced piece that would grace any festival.

I very much like this play. It's true, warm, and would make an excellent addition to any evening of short work. Bram catches the pathos but concentrates on the humanity and we come out of this thinking things might just actually turn out all right. I hope this gets loads of productions.
