GAME/SHOW

A podcast exploring the surprising similarities between football and theatre and the wider intersections between sport, art and culture.

Why actors are like baseball pitchers… a brilliant extract from ‘Letters From An Actor’ by William Redfield, inspiration for current West End hit @MotiveandTheCue. As spotted by @darwen88.

Who is the most balletic player you've ever seen?

[GAME/SHOW @GameShowPodUK]

We’re working hard behind the scenes on a full Season 1. Please help us by sharing the pilot with anyone you know who likes football, or theatre, or both, or neither (yet). It's the best thing you can do to help make GAME/SHOW happen. 🙏

@tahlianorrish @theactorsdojo Thanks so much Tahlia, glad you enjoyed. Look forward to learning more from you for an episode on sports psych in the arts... fascinating subject to explore.

The sponsor of the world’s first football cup was…a #Sheffield theatre producer. Of course! ⚽️ 🎭 @GameShowPodUK

[GAME/SHOW @GameShowPodUK]

@tomwbird This is excellent content for the Sheffield episode of GAME/SHOW. So much music & football crossover in Sheff too. We might need a whole series.

@DagenhamInvince @TheStage @EllaDormanGajic @footballandwar @justaballgame Oh interesting, was there ever a script written?

[GAME/SHOW @GameShowPodUK]

Thanks to @TheStage for the double page spread in this week’s edition. Poignant to share the paper with memories of Bill Kenwright who lived and breathed football + theatre.

Football > Theatre. An oldie but a goodie from @Andrewbryant89. #football #theatre

[GAME/SHOW @GameShowPodUK]

Exquisite writing on football as art form by Eduardo Galeano in his seminal ‘Football In Sun & Shadow’.

The best book about football ever written…?

[GAME/SHOW @GameShowPodUK]

Just one of many sabre sharp insights from playwright @vinaypatel on our pilot episode. Vinay speaks brilliantly about following football for its narrative and writing plays that grip football fans as much as football does. Listen via the link in our bio.
