Reviews"The material is raw and real and is miserably just as relevant now as it was 17 years ago ..." -- Whatsonstage "This is the sort of gutsy, uncompromising and bold drama that is sorely lacking in today's inoffensive, watered-down theatre industry" -- The Stage "This searing, finely crafted play, pivoting around two pairs of brothers - one white and one black - remains vexingly relevant" -- The Times "As the pub's own football team arrives to watch the match, Williams shows how generalised xenophobia conceals a more specific racism ... Williams [sharply] delineates the different faces of British racism." --Michael Billington, Guardian "A fascinating play to explore with an A-Level group keen to discuss national, cultural and ethnic identity." -- Drama and Theatre "Premiered at the National Theatre in 2002, Roy Williams's ferocious, funny and disturbing play takes aim at what it means to be black, white and English in twenty-first century Britain. Scoring high on foul language, threat and vulgar humour, Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads is definitely not for the faint of heart." -- Chichester Festival Theatre, "The material is raw and real and is miserably just as relevant now as it was 17 years ago ..." -- Whatsonstage "This is the sort of gutsy, uncompromising and bold drama that is sorely lacking in today's inoffensive, watered-down theatre industry" -- The Stage "This searing, finely crafted play, pivoting around two pairs of brothers - one white and one black - remains vexingly relevant" -- The Times "As the pub's own football team arrives to watch the match, Williams shows how generalised xenophobia conceals a more specific racism ...

SynopsisA fierce and excoriating portrait of British racism, Roy William's Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads premiered in 2002 at the National Theatre. Set in a south-west London pub during the 2000 England vs. Germany match, tempers are running high. As England lose again, their supporters in The King George lose it too - at full time, patriotism has become unapologetic racism. This Methuen Drama Student Edition of the play includes commentary and notes by Gemma Edwards, University of Manchester, UK, which explore the production history of the play as well as the historical, social and cultural contexts that surround it, such as the rise of Nationalism and far-right groups in the UK. Also featuring an interview with Roy Williams about the play and its relevance 20 years on, this edition is a must-have resource for any student exploring Sing Yer Heart Out for the Lads.
