By Far The Greatest Team

Synopsis:
We're by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen. . . One City. Two Teams. In BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM, four outstanding Mancunian writers explore what it is to be a football fan in four brand new plays. Told in a game of two halves, BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM tells new stories about Manchester City, Manchester United, identity, community, belonging and asks why the beautiful game has such an impact on our lives, season after season.
