This is just what I can remember from the show - if you see any obvious mistakes please email me at anna@beeptwo.com.

ACT I

The stage is black and empty. The only scenery is a brick wall across the back of the stage, with a goalpost chalked onto it. A group of boys come onto the stage and start kicking a can around (Overture). The girls join them onstage and they all sing of their love for football (The Beautiful Game).

Father O'Donnell, the coach of the team, comes onstage and talks to the team. In particular, he admonishes John - the team's star striker - for spending too much time watching Mary Maguire, and orders him to clean the kit as punishment.

Alone in the changing room after the others have left, John sings of his hopes and dreams of becoming a professional footballer (Clean The Kit). On the other side of the lockers, Thomas and his cronies throw Del (a protestant) off the (catholic) team and threaten him should he ever return.

Mary comes into the changing room. She tells John that he is just deluding himself, and that he will never amount to anything. John and Mary discuss their feelings for each other (Don't Like You), but eventually come to the conclusion that they do like each other after all.

A few months later. Daniel is chased into the changing room by a few of his team mates - he's missed the match because he was busy elsewhere (stealing a car radio). He offers to buy them a drink to make up for it, and invites John along when he comes into the room. John has already said he'll go to a protest march with Mary, but would now rather go for a drink with his friends. He and Mary argue and he leaves with the other boys. Mary and another (Protestant) girl sing of their love for their country (God's Own Country). John returns, having changed his mind - he and Mary leave together for the march.

The team qualify for the final. As they talk in the changing room, they hear drums in the distance, and knowing it's the Protestant marchers, flee. The marchers come on stage (God's Own Country (Protestant March)), throwing sticks and stones. They wreck the changing room and blow up the wall at the back of the stage before leaving.

Christine and Del come on stage. She is Catholic and he Protestant, and they dream of a day when they can be together in peace (Let Us Love In Peace).

The team win the final (The Final (A Game Of Two Halves)), and go off to celebrate (Off To The Party, The Craic). At the party, Del is threatened and then thrown out by Thomas and his friends. And Bernadette and Ginger get together (Don't Like You (Reprise)). However, on his way home from the party, Ginger is viciously attacked...

Mary and Christine are at Mary's house the next day. Christine talks about her relationship with Del (Our Kind Of Love). Then John, Thomas, Bernadette and Daniel come in. John tells the others that Ginger is dead. Act I ends with Ginger's funeral (Let Us Love In Peace (Reprise)).

ACT II

Act II opens on Mary and John's wedding day (The Happiest Day/To Have And To Hold). Left alone in their hotel room that night they take time to overcome their fears (The First Time), but their peace is soon shattered by a phone call - Thomas, now a member of the IRA, is on the run and has lost his glasses - he needs John's help to get to safety. John argues with Mary, then leaves to help Thomas. Thomas explains his philosophy to John (I'd Rather Die On My Feet Than Live On My Knees).

A few months later John and Daniel are at an audition (I don't know what else to call it) to play for Everton, and John has a good chance of being chosen. Mary has another reason to be happy - she's just found out she's pregnant, but hasn't told John yet. However, instead of being selected for Everton, John is arrested for helping Thomas escape that night (The Selection) and sent to an internment camp (Dead Zone).

Daniel visits Mary when her and John's son, Sean, is a few months old. It is here that he's tracked down by a group of balaclava'd terrorists - one of whom Mary recognises as Thomas. They declare that Daniel has been found guilty of treason - they believe it was he that turned John over to the police, and kneecap him (that is, shoot him in the knee, to cripple him for life). Mary is, naturally, absolutely appalled (If This Is What We're Fighting For).

John is released. Meeting up with Thomas, he tells him of his theory of what really happened - he believes that it was Thomas who turned him in, and that Daniel was innocent. John shoots Thomas dead, and then leaves to join the IRA (All The Love I Have). Before he goes, he gives Mary a present for his son - his old football and football shirt.

We see a brief glimpse of ten years in the future - Sean is a keen footballer, and Mary hopes that he and his team will do better in life than the team she knew. All the cast comes on stage for the Finale - 'There's only one love in the end'.
