Benedict Cumberbatch plays the title role of yet another great Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet. As the country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart.

The play is directed by Lyndsey Tu

DEAR ENGLAND

December 17, 2024 | 6:00PM | Ayala Vertis North & Ayala Cebu

Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Gareth Southgate in James Graham’s (Best of Enemies) gripping examination of nation and game.

The country that gave the world football has since delivered a painful pattern of loss. Why can’t England’s men win at their own game?

With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt, to take team and country back to the promised land.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Rupert Goold (Judy) directs this spectacular new play.
