A grieving son's funeral speech turns into an elegy for his father, the national football team, and a country torn apart by its identity crisis. Rafe Spall stars in a 'microplay', written by Roy Williams and directed by Clint Dyer after a conversation with Barney Ronay. Death of England is the latest in a series of plays made in collaboration between The Guardian journalists and Royal Court Theatre-makers.
