OFFSIDE by Sabrina Mahfouz and Hollie McNish
It is 1892. It is 1921. It is 2018.
Four women from across the centuries live, breathe, and play football. Whilst each of them face very different obstacles, the possibility that the beautiful game will change their futures - and the world is tantalisingly close.
Offside is told through lyrical dialogue, poetry, and punchy prose, placing the audience on the touchline of the game of a lifetime.
***** Brilliant and polished overlapping storytelling BroadwayBaby
***** An impressive feat Morning Star

**** An engaging, enthralling watch WhatsOnStage
**** Defiantly and rawly poetic AllEdinburghTheatre.com
Offside was born out of extensive research in to the history and current state of womens football, working with top womens teams, Manchester City Womens FC and Millwall Lionesses, where many players, sports scientists and others, integral to the development of the game, were interviewed to gain an in-depth insight into their world. To understand the historical context, Futures partnered with the National Football Museum (Manchester) and the Imperial War Musuem (London).
Offside first toured the UK March April 2017 before securing a transfer to the Pleasance for the Edinburgh Fringe.
