Bend It Like Beckham

Bend It Like Beckham: The Musical is based on the 2002 film of the same name.

Synopsis

It tells the story of Jess Bhamra, a British Indian girl living in London, who dreams of playing football professionally, much to the dismay of her traditional Sikh family.

Despite the cultural and familial pressures, Jess pursues her passion with the support of her friend Jules, navigating conflicts between tradition and ambition, and identity and love.

The musical celebrates the fusion of cultures, the challenge of integrating traditional values with modern dreams, and the universal story of friendship, family, and following one’s dreams against all odds.
