Synopsis
Inside the claustrophobic confines of a semi-professional rugby league changing room, players bare their souls and their bodies in David Storey’s gritty, realist drama.
Hailed as “mysterious and mesmerizing” by the New York Times during its original Broadway run, The Changing Room shows you what goes on behind sports’ closed doors.
