The Eagle and the Seagull
Two England football fans share a Spanish police cell, and find out they are deadly rivals.
Suitable for Age 15 +
After a violent incident on a train, two England football fans who were on their way to an international match find themselves thrown together in a Spanish police cell.
The fans quickly find out that one of them supports Brighton, and the other supports Crystal Palace, two teams with a bizarre and intense rivalry between them. Despite being in another country and both wearing England shirts, their home team prejudices soon arise.
The police try to find out what happened on the train, the temperature in the cell keeps rising, and the two football fans undertake a funny yet dark exploration of identity, belonging, personal history and pointless animosity.
