Birmingham Rep in Centenary Square, Birmingham
A black and white image of a mother and son. They hold hands and walk with their backs to the camera towards a column of light as if they are walking out onto a football pitch. Their silhouettes casting a large shadow along the ground behind them.

Everybody Wants to Be Ronaldo

Everybody Wants To Be Ronaldo is a raucous, high-octane Grime-sical. (That’s right…)

It follows the pressures of football academies on young men, the connection between mother and son and asks the question “Who are you?” when you’ve lost everything you’ve ever worked on.

Set in the suburbs of Birmingham, footballing protégée, Curtis, has just had the call to say that he won’t be getting a professional footballing contract. When tensions come to boiling point between him and his dedicated Mom, things take a dark turn.

There’s only one thing that could save him.. being helped by the mystical, raving, Diego Maradona.
