Dear England is a play about England football manager Gareth Southgate, the pressures of elite sport, and the role of the national men's football team in the national psyche. Written by James Graham, it opened in 2023 at the National Theatre in London starring Joseph Fiennes and directed by Rupert Goold. The title of the play, which explores how Southgate helped to change notions of masculinity on the England team, comes from the open letter which Southgate wrote to England fans in 2021. Time: 10 July 7.30 Place: National Theatre
