Actor Joseph Fiennes - who plays Gareth Southgate in the stage production 'Dear England' - discusses why the England manager is his 'hero'.
'Gareth is a hero to me, how I think he has changed the game.' The highest of praise for England's manager, from a superstar of stage and screen. Joseph Fiennes plays Gareth Southgate in the play 'Dear England', which has this week embarked on a landmark West End run. It's the first drama to be staged at the Prince Edward Theatre since World War II.
'So the fact that Gareth has done it so quickly, so beautifully, focused on things managers haven't focused on before - masculinity, culture, fear, vulnerability, identity, history - it's compelling!' Dervla Kirwan - who is well-known to UK television audiences and has won a National Television award for her work in Ballykissangel - plays Dr Pippa Grange, the psychologist Southgate brought in to work with the England squad in the build up to the 2018 World Cup.
