THEATRE / Studs: Edinburgh Festival Day 4
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A hyperactive, mouthy show about an Irish amateur football team in which 11 men give 110 per cent throughout. The Rovers are a rowdy mess until a new manager (Eamonn Hunt's lugubrious Walter) slaps them - sometimes literally - into shape. Propelled by a lively mix of well-choreographed sporting action and richly comic verse, they boot, battle and banter their way to League success. Paul Mercier's script, riddled with obscenities and cheerful violence, comes across as a hymn to tribalism and testosterone, while the humour gives a freshness to the classic rags-to-almost-riches plot. The lads play a blinder.
Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street (venue 3), 031-226 2428. 2.30pm. To 29 Aug (not 23 Aug).
