| What
do you do when you're due to be married on FA
Cup Final day - and even the vicar wants to
go to the match?
It's 1923 and Martha Platt's wedding
plans are falling to pieces as friends and neighbours,
including fiance Ted Aspinall, can talk of nothing
but the Wanderers' shot at glory, whilst Ted's
brother, Jim, dreams of revolution on the street
of Bolton. Local newsagent Bob Stott announces
he's walking to Wembley - bedecked in the navy
blue and white ribbons and wearing brand new
irons on his clogs, will he really manage 200
miles in just 6 days?
For Hilda and Alf Hilton, life hasn't
been the same since 1918, when the telegram
came from the War Office with the worst possible
news. Can anything lift the clouds?
In 48 years the Trotters have been
in the final twice and lost both times - can
they actually win against West Ham United? With
less than a week to go, the brand new Wembley
Stadium is still incomplete - will it be ready
on time?! And was it a good idea to employ 120
boy scouts to control an expected crowd of 120,000?
Set
in Bolton in the early 1920's, a time of great
political and social change leading to upheaval
and divisions in the town, And Did Those
Feet is a heartwarming, funny and inspiring
play about the passion for 'the beautiful game'
and its ability to bring people and communities
together, and how the residents of one Bolton
street resolve their differences and unite behind
their team.
