Fair Play

Written by Ella Road

Directed by Deidra LaWan Starnes

October 16 - November 2, 2025

The clocks are set. The line is drawn. Ann and Sophie have a chance to be champions. As their relationships, their bodies and their very identities are pulled into public scrutiny, does being exceptional come at too high a price? A gripping exploration of the underside of women's athletics, Fair Play is the new work from Ella Road (The Phlebotomist), “the most promising young playwright in Britain.” – The Telegraph

Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays at 7:30pm, Saturdays/Sundays at 2:00pm

Review: FAIR PLAY at 1st Stage

October 23, 2025

The competitive world of track and field is the center of 1st Stage’s Fair Play, written by Ella Road and directed by Deidra LaWan Starnes, but there is more to this play than just running. Ann (Mahkai Dominique) is a British-Nigerian who crosses paths with Sophie (Camilla Pivetta), a white British star runner who has been competing since she was nine years old.
