Dear England will embark on a national tour for the first time ever in 2025 and 2026 - and this is how to get tickets.

The Olivier Award-winning play, about Gareth Southgate's multi-year vision for the England men's football team will stop off at theatre venues across the country.

The tour is set to begin on 15 September in Plymouth and head to Nottingham, Canterbury, Sheffield and Leeds.

Other cities include Newcastle, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Bradford and Liverpool before finishing up in Birmingham.

The play first premiered at the National Theatre in the summer of 2023 before transferring to the West End, when it received nine Olivier Award nominations.

It is already scheduled to return to the National next month, ahead of a four-week season at the Lowry in Salford, plus a TV adaption is also in the works.

Writer James Graham said: "As someone from a community that had limited access to culture growing up, I'm especially aware of how vital it is to share work of such a scale beyond the capital.

"And as a lifelong theatre and England fan, the chance to tell a story about the beautiful game and through the prism of Gareth Southgate's transformative term has been a privilege.

"I think he has been a remarkable leader, and it fills me with great excitement and joy that we get to share Rupert’s euphoric and entertaining production, with all its incredible movement and music, once more with audiences around the country."
