Q&A : The Giant Killers

Performed to standing ovations and multiple five-star reviews in 2017, Long Lane Theatre Company’s The Giant Killers – the critically acclaimed, inspiring true story of Football’s greatest underdog, returns to the Edinburgh Fringe. Taking place in Lancashire in the 1870s, amidst the poverty and social unrest in The North resulting from the recent cotton famine, it’s a story about the way Darwen FC rose up against the prevailing social prejudice; a shining beacon of hope for the millions of people left feeling utterly disenfranchised in a society with a chasm of social divides.
