Jumpers for Goalposts

By Tom Wells

Wednesday 25th - Saturday 28th March 2026

Jumpers for Goalposts by Tom Wells is a warm, funny, and deeply moving play about friendship, community, and the quiet importance of belonging.

Set around a Sunday league football team over the course of a season, the play uses grassroots football as the backdrop for a story about ordinary people navigating change. As life off the pitch becomes more complicated, the team becomes a place of refuge — somewhere to show up, be counted, and feel part of something.
