Directing - me

The text was collected from verbatim interviews with Southend United Football Club friends and fans and the script was written in collaboration with the company.

Really special to have the interviewees and contributors in the audience as we were telling the story they had lived of the mobilisation of the community fighting for a club run for people not for profit. And big thanks for the swell of support from the community in Southend.
