Keepy Uppy by Evan Placey
by tutti fruttichildren-and-family, theatre
Keepy Uppy is a play for the 2018 world cup year, for football fans, non-football fans, children and families.
about the production
A silent pitch, a still football. Footie strips, shins pads, shiny boots. A kick of the ball, it flies, it soars… it scores …….. GOAL! Our journey begins with grass stained knees, Astro Turf and champions. Keepy Uppy tells an extraordinary tale of love, devotion and family, set in the world of all things football and undeniable team spirit. Join tutti frutti as they celebrate the joy of the beautiful game and ignite children’s imagination with visual and physical storytelling. With few words and bold physicality, fab footie moves, flicks, sidesteps and original live music.
