Love It If We Beat Them: Live Theatre

Rob Ward’s Love It If We Beat Them returns to Live Theatre this September.

Set against the backdrop of Newcastle’s near-win during the 1996 Premier League, the play follows Len – a longtime left-wing activist – as he decides to run as MP for the Labour Party and faces competition in the form of a New Labour frontrunner.

Exploring questions of power, the political drama captures an important turning point in North Eastern identity that continues to define us today.
