改变的时刻到了！
虽然英格兰曾经推动现代足球运动的诞生，但他们自己的球队已经陷入失利的泥淖，一度创下最差罚球记录。主教练加雷斯·索斯盖特（Gareth Southgate）知道，他需要正视自己职业生涯留下的阴影，也需要破除球队的点球魔咒，在带领“三狮军团”重写神话，重返辉煌的巅峰。
继《塔米·菲》和《笔墨春秋》两部备受好评舞台剧作品之后，奥利弗奖获奖编剧、导演组合——詹姆斯·格雷厄姆（James Graham）与阿尔梅达剧院艺术总监鲁伯特·古尔德（Rupert Goold）再度携手，将英国国民运动搬上舞台。在这部扣人心弦的作品中，格雷厄姆不仅用幽默感人的笔法着力描绘了英格兰队主帅索斯盖特的革新探索，也通过特蕾莎·梅和鲍里斯·约翰逊等的喜剧客串角色带出了足球运动背后的民族精神与国家叙事。
大热剧集《使女的故事》主演约瑟夫·费因斯（Joseph Fiennes）饰演的索斯盖特获得媒体盛赞；奥利弗奖得主艾斯·德芙琳（Es Devlin）的舞美设计与灯光、音响巧妙配合，为英格兰队从萎靡不前到重振旗鼓的戏剧性转变创造了紧张动感。该剧在英国国家剧院奥利弗大剧场的首轮演出一票难求，目前已经移师伦敦西区，继续“三狮军团”未完的征途。

American Psycho is a musical with music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik and a book by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. It is based on the controversial 1991 novel American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis,[1] which also inspired a 2000 film of the same name, that starred Christian Bale. Set in Manhattan during the Wall Street boom of the late 1980s, American Psycho is about the daily life of Patrick Bateman, a young and wealthy investment banker who is also secretly a serial killer.

The musical received its world premiere at London's Almeida Theatre in 2013, directed by Rupert Goold and starring Doctor Who actor Matt Smith. A Broadway production began preview performances on 24 March 2016, at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, directed by Goold and starring Benjamin Walker as Patrick Bateman.

Mike Bartlett's play Albion, directed for the stage by Rupert Goold, is a tragicomic drama about national identity, family, passion and the disappointment of personal dreams. Filmed at London’s Almeida Theatre, the play is set in the garden of an English country house. The house has been bought by successful businesswoman Audrey Walters, who intends to restore the ruined garden to its former glory and create a memorial to the son she recently lost in a foreign war.

There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory.



Patrick Bateman has it all – looks, money, style and status. Engaged to the beautiful Evelyn Williams, he is about to win the prestigious Fischer account for his investment bank and celebrate by dining at Dorsia. But there’s another side to his life that Patrick keeps secret. And people – including those closest to him – keep disappearing…
