Only the Beginning

Following the Lionesses call to arms following their Euro 2022 victory, Only The Beginning… will take a deep dive into what it takes to be a female footballer and the bonds created through grassroots sport. This exciting new production will be developed with involvement from local women’s football teams and young players in the North East.

Only The Beginning will be a thrilling, fast-paced and highly physical new show by Susan Mulholland (Northern Stage’s Thumbelina and Tattercoats) and directed by ThickSkin’s Artistic Director, Neil Bettles (Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Frantic Assembly’s The Unreturning), showcasing ThickSkin’s award-winning physical, visual style of storytelling.
