The Red Lion analyzes with irony and ruthlessness the world full of contradictions and ambitions of amateur football, enlightened /obscured by the chimera of making it to the professional category. Marcello Cotugno stages the story in Campania’s suburbs: on stage, with a young promising football player, the coach and the senior factotum of the team who fight to profit from the boy’s skills.
