About the show

Stand or Fall – The Play at Theatre Royal Brighton: Mark Brailsford's new comedy drama following Albion fans from the Goldstone to Wembley. Tickets available.

Stand or Fall - The Play tickets in Brighton

Stand or Fall – The Play is a new comedy drama at Theatre Royal Brighton, written by Mark Brailsford and presented by Treason Productions. It follows a group of Brighton & Hove Albion supporters through the club's journey from the final days at the Goldstone Ground, through Withdean, to Wembley and European football.

What the play is about

The story traces ordinary Albion fans through one of the club's most turbulent periods, from the threat of extinction to continental competition. Brailsford frames it as a humorous piece focused on the lighter side of loyal support, exploring the community of people for whom the club's survival was deeply personal.

Brailsford is a lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion supporter, a Brighton Fringe Award winner, and the creator of The Treason Show. He also appeared in the documentary series Brighton 'Til I Die. Brighton Shakespeare Company, which co-produces the production, has eight shows to its name, six of them staged at Brighton Open Air Theatre.
