“And Did Those Feet was a real joy and it made me proud to be Boltonian”
Manchester Evening News

“This football drama winds the clock back to the Wanderer’s finest hour…It remains the stuff of legend…This is a Bolton Wanderers play that even Blackburn Rovers fans might enjoy.”
The Guardian

“Why do we love football? Bolton’s Octagon, spurning the convention that theatre people pooh pooh ‘footy’ offers answers with a funny, inventive and moving new play.”
The Daily Mail

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.
