Paper Hat Theatre presents

The Red Lion

19-22 Nov 2025

This is an archive page for a past Theatre 118 production. Venue and access information below may refer to our former building at 118 Osborne Street.

Loyalty versus ambition: who wins? Multi award-winning writer Patrick Marber's intense play thrusts audiences into the locker room of a non-league football club, where the arrival of a star recruit sparks a generational conflict between a veteran kit man and a ruthless manager, each with their own vision of success.

Press

"Paper Hat Theatre, hampered by a late substitute and unable to provide their full 4-4-2, do a handsome job of bringing the script to stage."

"Marber's machine gun exchanges are brought to life in Michael Panikkou's production by Euan Galbraith as a hangdog Johnny, Jamie Cunningham as a quietly driven Jordan, and Derek Banner stepping in at the last minute as Jimmy due to illness of original cast member Michael H. Steel."
