Additional information

A story of love, loss, Leicester City and the greatest sporting underdog tale of our time.

 

A modern fairy-tale told through spoken-word, storytelling and song, Impossible Dream is a gig-theatre production telling the story of Leicester City’s incredible English Premier League win of 2016, through the eyes of artist Frank.

 

Frank is 40 and moving back home to care for his dad who has dementia. Although times are tough, they are both lifelong Leicester City fans and about to witness the greatest sporting underdog story of modern times.

 

Dealing with difficult themes, but full of humour and heart, this is a dose of feelgood in dark times and a hymn to teams and supporters of all tribes and types.

 

There will also be a book launch as part of the night, and a raffle and donations bucket for Dementia UK.

 

TimingsDoors open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm, finishing at around 9.20pm. The running time is approximately 90 minutes, including a short interval. Latecomers will be admitted.

 

TicketsGeneral admission £12.50 and concessions £10 for students, under 18s, over 65s and anyone unwaged, plus a booking fee. You can also buy a Pay it forward ticket for £12.50 plus a booking fee. These are passed on to people who could not otherwise afford to come, so someone else gets to share the night.

 

Age guidanceAimed at adults, but suitable for a PG audience.

 

Content noteAlthough there is plenty of humour in the piece, the show tells the story of a son caring for his father who has dementia. It may hit close to home for anyone who has cared for, or is caring for, someone living with dementia.
