OFFSIDE @ Leyton Orient FC
OFFSIDE Written by Sabrina Mahfouz & Hollie McNish
About this event
Heart thumping with oxygenised blood,
adrenalin flooding every little bit of me
and every little bit of me
is every little bit of the field in front of me.
It is 1892. It is 1921. It is 2017.
Four women from across the centuries live, breathe, and play football.
Whilst each of them face very different obstacles, the possibility that the beautiful game will change their futures – and the world – is tantalisingly close.
OFFSIDE is told through lyrical dialogue, poetry, and punchy prose, placing the audience on the touchline of the game of a lifetime.
After two critically acclaimed tours in 2017 & 2018, Sabrina Mahfouz & Hollie McNish's electric OFFSIDE is back for a third and final tour of theatres and football clubs, to celebrate the Women's European Football Championship.
