Plane Paper Theatre

'His name is Jimmy Hall, he plays with odd shaped balls.
So put your bums against the wall, cos here comes Jimmy Hall'

How would you feel if your sexuality prevented you from playing the sport you loved? Rugby player, James Hall, has the world at his feet. Yet despite a steady girlfriend and a promising career, his life is about to be turned upside down.

Odd Shaped Balls is a funny and poignant one-man show, which tackles issues of homophobia & sexuality in sport and the pressures of intrusive media attention. With his life crumbling around him, does James have the courage not only to be true to himself, but also to be a role model for others?

Odd Shaped Balls is transferring to the Old Red Lion after a highly successful run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Plane Paper Theatre are dedicated to creating a platform for emerging theatremakers to develop and produce innovative work that tackles important themes and questions.
