When Don Revie took over this club, Leeds were a rugby league town. No
interest in football. Gates under 10,000. We'd never won a thing. He
built one of the great clubs of English football, one of the great
teams of English football, from scratch on barren ground from nothing
more than spirit and fight and nous, which are the exact same
qualities you used at Derby. And out of jealousy, you never tried to
understand that. Never tried to make the most of that. Sad. 1974.
Brian Clough, the enfant terrible of British football, tries to redeem
his managerial career and reputation by winning the European Cup with
his new team, Leeds United. The team he has openly despised for years,
the team he hates and that hates him. Don Revie's Leeds. A West
Yorkshire Playhouse and Red Ladder Theatre Company co-production,
adapted from David Peace's ingenious and much-lauded novel, which was
subsequently made into a film starring Michael Sheen, The Damned
United takes you inside the tortured mind of a genius slamming up
against his limits, and brings to life the beauty and brutality of
football, the working man's ballet. Anders Lustgarten's stage
adaptation of David Peace's novel received its world premiere at the
West Yorkshire Playhouse on 3 March 2016.
