Hands Up For Jonny Wilkinsons Right Boot!

It's one of those moments that no-one will forget! A time when everyone can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing: The Rugby World Cup Final 2003 - November 22nd 2003 to be precise; England versus Australia in Sydney and with just 26 seconds to the final whistle and with the score standing at a tantalising 17-17, Jonny Wilkinson makes history as under huge pressure he drops a goal with his right boot to win the World Cup for England!

As we anticipate the inevitable dramas of the impending Rugby World Cup of 2015, Live Wire Theatre is preparing to re-enact the history and drama not just of Jonny Wilkinson's historic moment but of other celebrated rugby memories in their hilarious and fast moving production of 'Hands Up for Jonny Wilkinson's Right Boot'.

From the first British Lions tour to New Zealand in 1908 to Jonny Wilkinson's 2003 drop goal via Nelson Mandela's presentation of the first ever Rugby World Cup trophy to South African captain Francois Pienaar, Live Wire Theatre will transport audiences through time on an astonishing round- the-world-rugby-tour complete with songs, stories and physical re-enactments of matches and rugby rituals - including the All-Blacks' legendary Haka.

After the performance on Saturday 3rd October, we will be showing England vs Australia. Audience members are invited to stay to watch the game on the big screen.
