Sean McLoughlin’s debut play I Am Steven Gerrard will run at Hope Street Theatre in Liverpool 24–28 January 2024.
This one-man play is performed by Joe Cowin and directed by Amy Roberts, whose recent credits include A Pretty Sh*tty Love at Theatr Clwyd and One Man Poe for Threedumb Theatre.
It is described as “a story of football, aspiration, music, Steven Gerrard, loneliness, reality television, love, religion, friends, loss, passion, enemies, Davina McColl, politics, ambition, family, virginity, past generations, and the impact they leave behind.”
The play won the inaugural playwriting competition What Happens Next? from TipTray Theatre, in which eight new productions go through a judging process that season one supported for a week-long run the following January. This year’s competition rounds for a performance in January 2025 took place on 18–20 January.
