The way they’re changing endz is nuts.

“Red Pitch. South London. Three lifelong friends Omz, Bilal and Joey are playing football. Like they always have. Living out dreams of football stardom. Beyond their football pitch local shops are closing old flats are being demolished as new flats shoot up some residents struggle to stay while others rush to leave.

When a small football pitch has been a home from home a place you’ve laughed fought and forged friendships what happens when it’s under threat?

A coming of age story about what it means to belong to a place. Directed by Bush Theatre Associate Artistic Director Daniel Bailey (The High Table), Tyrell Williams’ fast-paced and sharp-edged new play tells a powerful story about gentrification or regeneration and the impact of this relentless change on London’s communities.
