The Sedona Film Festival presents the premiere of “Dear England” on May 19-22

Sedona News – The National Theater in London continues its season with its popular new production of “Dear England,” showing in Sedona on Sunday and Wednesday, May 19 and 22. The Sedona International Film Festival hosts its big-screen premiere at the Mary D. Fisher Theater.

Nominated for nine Olivier Awards, Joseph Fiennes plays Gareth Southgate in James Graham's stunning play The Nation and the Game.

The country that introduced the world to football has since fallen into a painful pattern of losing. Why can't England men win their game?

With the world's worst record of taking penalties, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face years of pain, to get team and country back to the promised land.

Filmed live on the National Theatre, this stunning new play was filmed live on the National Theatre.
