James Trevelyan has been writing for theatre since 2022. His play scripts have been longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize and the ETPEP Award at the Finborough Theatre, and his work has been supported by Arts Council England, In Good Company, Birmingham Rep and Birmingham Hippodrome. He has collaborated on two scripts with director & dramaturg Alice Chambers.
We go again
Outside a local football ground in the West Midlands, flowers and tributes have been laid in the memory of a recently deceased footballer. When Rick finds the memorial vandalised by rival fans, he enlists his best friend and their sons to dish out retribution. As a traumatic family loss and deep-buried emotions surface, Rick must discover how to cope with his pain. A play about grief, masculinity and loyalty, We go again explores what we inherit from our fathers and whether we can escape the paths they set us upon.
With thanks to a development bursary from In Good Company and a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England, We go again had an R&D period and scene sharing at Birmingham Hippodrome in March 2025. Please get in touch if you would like to view the recording or read the script.
