Coming Home

Coming Home tells the story of Jack and Suzie.
They are a couple in their early 30s who have decided to watch England play in a major tournament together. Jack is clearly a big football fan whereas Suzie is trying to show her partner she is getting into the spirit of it all. At first, all is exciting and hilarious as Jack is frantically pacing the room and singing the national anthem, however as the game begins to unfold and his drinking becomes a compulsion to handle his emotions, the couples deep routed issues of intimacy, their future and Jacks paranoia, take their toll on Suzie and she is left isolated, frightened and furious at the man she is in a relationship with.The play follows a timeless paradox universe from 1998 with England playing Argentina, to England vs Italy in 2021. Jack and Suzie are trapped in a pattern of the same scenarios and outcomes from football and his behaviour. The couple can also be a representation of the many relationships that have been impacted by their partners behaviour whilst watching football. Suzie is a woman having to deal with the man child that is Jack and therefore represents the many women who have found themselves throughout the years being the crutch or tragically the punching bag for their emotionally repressed, bar watching football partner.
