Dear England playwright James Graham has revealed that the forthcoming BBC adaptation of his acclaimed football play will be updated to include Jude Bellingham’s 96th-minute equalizer against Slovakia at Euro 2024.
Harry Kane described the last-gasp goal that rescued England from elimination from the tournament as the “best in England’s history.”
“Left Bank Pictures are thrilled to be working with James Graham once again and I’m certain that the TV adaptation of Dear England will be as ground-breaking as the play itself.”
The play was warmly received by many critics and picked up Olivier Awards for Best New Play and Best Supporting Actor (Will Close as Harry Kane).
