Football Crumpets: a nostalgic queer comedy by Lucie Isle

Meet Nanna and her football-mad grandson Nobby, who live together in a clifftop caravan in the drab holiday village Funcliffe Park.

Nobby supports ’The Blues’ who no matter how much he yells at the TV, never win. Nanna just wants a night in with a bottle of beer, a foot rub, and some decent ear plugs. That boy’s giving her a bloomin’ headache.

Nanna has a secret that she’s kept for over ten years. Determined to give Nobby a normal childhood, she’s done everything she can to keep the secret from her friends, and her grandson. No, she’s not a murderer, but she could M**der a bit of peace and quiet.

One stormy night, the clifftop beneath Funcliffe Park begins to crumble. The, um, 'interesting’ little caravan community is swept up in a media circus, threatening to reveal Nanna’s shocking secret to the world.

A comedy about loss, self acceptance, chosen family, and loads of football crumpets.
