Details

It's 1979 and Viv Anderson is the first black footballer to make the England squad. Wayne Matthews is desperate to follow in his hero's footsteps but there's one problem - he's rubbish at football. His friends and family are no use to him - his Dad's depressed, his best friend prefers the art class to the penalty spot and the team captain is too busy sorting out his own problems to help. There's Only One Wayne Matthews tells the story of a young boy battling the odds (and the bullies) to master the beautiful game. Roy Williams' vibrant play explores friendship, forgiveness and finding out what you're good at. Age 9+
