Two lads. No money. One mission: get season tickets for the Premier League.
How hard can it be?
Based on Jonathan Tulloch’s novel The Season Ticket, which became the cult film
Purely Belter, Olivier Award-winner Jamie Eastlake’s new adaptation storms into the
West End for a limited run after sell-out performances across the North East.
Gerry and Sewell live in Gateshead. They’ve got nothing — except a dream. A
season ticket to their beloved football club. But after years of austerity and
watching their team sold off by a southern businessman more interested in
merchandise than matches, life’s tough. Until they decide they’re getting those
season tickets, whatever it takes. And once they’ve got their mission, nothing’s
going to stop them — except maybe a few dodgy dealers, the social, and the odd
run-in with the local scrap man.
Gerry & Sewell blends live music, puppet dogs and the magic of Wor Flags (plus the
odd surprise cameo) into a wild, funny and heartfelt tribute to black-and-white
dreams.
For the Toon. And for anyone who’s ever chased something that matters.
