About SLP Media
Brixton Mondays is a theatre and storytelling piece from SLP Media about the reunion of a long-running five-a-side football team, set at the same south London curry house where the team traditionally met every Monday. The story spans a period from 1985 to 2012, as past rivalries and grudges resurface even before the poppadoms are served. Small talk gives way to open season on old wounds. A mystery hangs over why the fifth team member is absent, and who the young man by the service counter might be. The show runs for 60 minutes and is rated 14+.
Why see this show?
A warm, funny and genuinely moving piece that uses football as a backdrop to explore friendship, loss and the passage of time. Despite the sporting premise, this is a deeply human story told with heart and sharp wit — well suited to audiences who enjoy character-driven theatre.
