Three men.
One club.
Everything to lose.

Meet Howard Crossley playing ‘YATES’ in Patrick Marber’s explosive drama about football, ambition, loyalty and power.

‘My father said a football man dies three times: Once when he’s young and sees he’s only second rate. Twice when he hangs up his boots and has to live like the others. And the third time … slow … if he falls out of love with the game.’

Directed by Olivier Award Winner David Thacker.

CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT 👀

Liam Scholes will lead the Manchester Premiere of ‘WASTED’ by Kae Tempest this autumn at The Kings! 🎤

Three friends. One unforgettable night. A lifetime of dreams, regrets, memories and possibilities.

Ted, Danny and Charlotte were once inseparable. Ten years after the death of their best friend, they come together again — older, changed and wondering what happened to the futures they once imagined.

Funny, fierce, poetic and completely unfiltered, WASTED is a powerful exploration of friendship, love, grief, wasted potential and the desperate desire to change your life before it’s too late.
