In this ball-kicking comedy with adult humor, the biggest football match in twenty years is about to kick off across the pond in London. Tommy, confirmed bachelor and passionate Liverpool fan, arrives at his best mate Bobby's flat to discover he's been dumped by his fiancee. Trouble is, Bobby is the linchpin of the all-important pre-game ritual. Tommy must get him to the pub before the game starts, even if it means recruiting the help of another traitorous female, Bobby's fetching sister Sarah.

"... Ogden shines in this production and director Guy Sanville has an excellent sense for comic timing ..."
"With this play, Ogden captures the importance of the seemly casual pastimes that occupy our lives and fill the spaces between the few moments of
true intimacy."
"... an impressively polished, sophisticated, funny, and satisfying script. ... a first-time playwright can sometimes pull off a memorable upset -
and that's always an exciting thing to witness."
"... Bleeding Red is a decidedly strong showing for Ogden, leaving the impression that there are many fine productions still to come from
his pen. He's done an admirable job distilling the complex, but universal emotions of love - of both sport and romance - into a cohesive and witty
play, and the result is both unique and genuinely entertaining."
"... the show is bursting with energy, and it's clear that real writing talent is at work."
"Bleeding Red works. It just comes together in a wonderful way and the writing and the cast really help you sympathize with the
characters."
