Sweet FA tells the true life story of Wimbledon footballer Sarah Stanbury (Sedge) whose ambition is to play Football (Soccer) for England. Her dad is delighted ... her mum disapproves strongly!
An ideal vehicle for any company wishing to present lively, imaginative work for One Act Drama Festivals. Opportunities for multi-role playing. Big Laughs . . . and moments of theatricality and real life drama

"A play I'd recommend to any Youth Theatre Group ... lots of good parts, issues around sexism, prejudice, school career without being po-faced about it. A very good script which rings of authenticity."
Neil Beddow - National Association of Youth Theatre's REACT

"Its central message, perfectly captured by this capable group, is one that speaks to more than just football fans or sportswomen. The play is a tribute to human determination - and a warning against the kind of ignorance that initially blinded many to Sedge's talents."
Andrew White - Southern Daily Echo

Also available from SchoolPlay Productions is a Drama work pack for teachers of GCSE Drama by Ginny Spooner & Mark Wheeller.
