Description

The Damned United by David Peace In 1974, Brian Clough took the reins at Leeds United, a team that had never won anything in football. With his own reputation on the line, he aimed to redeem himself by winning the European Cup with this unlikely side. The result was a clash of wills between two men who despised each other. This stage adaptation brings to life the beauty and brutality of football, as well as the tortured mind of a genius struggling against his limits. It's a story about spirit, fight, and nous - qualities that defined Don Revie's remarkable journey in building one of England's greatest football clubs from scratch. A West Yorkshire Playhouse and Red Ladder Theatre Company co-production, this book received its world premiere at the West Yorkshire Playhouse on 3 March 2016.
