Red Pitch
Bush Theatre online, Saturday 14 May at 7:45 pm
Set in Red Pitch, South London, three lifelong friends, Omz, Bilal, and Joey, are playing football, like they always have. But beyond their football pitch, local shops are closing, and old flats are being demolished as new flats shoot up. Some residents struggle to stay while others rush to leave. When a small football pitch has been a home from home, a place you’ve laughed, fought and forged friendships, what happens when it’s under threat? Get tickets here.
Conversations With Friends
BBC Three, Sunday 15 May at 10 pm
The television adaptation of Sally Rooney’s acclaimed novel Conversations With Friends is a romantic drama told over 12 half-hour episodes. The story follows the ménage-à-quatre between two Irish students, Frances (Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (Sasha Lane), and the older creative couple Nick (Joe Alwyn) and Melissa (Jemima Kirke). Frances and Nick — the shy and introverted members of this quartet —develop a passionate affair, which puts a strain on her relationship with Bobbi and his marriage to Melissa.
