An excellent cast, with a terrific performance by Joseph Fiennes as Gareth Southgate in the lead.
But the play itself is problematic, a redemption story with no redemption. The challenge of fashioning a satisfying story from the real-life material is not overcome โ England actually went backwards in the Qatar World Cup โ and Southgateโs narrative arc is, in reality, unfinished. The overtly political elements strained for relevance.
Iโm not surprised that they didnโt seem to know quite how to end the play.
