This spring, Sheffield Theatres will open their doors for Extra Time; a programme of free to attend activities and events in celebration of their world premiere production of The Ladies Football Club. By Stefano Massini (TheLehman Trilogy) and adapted by Tim Firth (Calendar Girls), the production is directed by Sheffield Theatres Artistic Director Elizabeth Newman and plays at the Crucible from Saturday 28 February - Saturday 28 March 2026.

Throughout February and March, Extra Time at Sheffield Theatres offers further opportunities for communities to join together, come to the theatres and find out more about the incredible women who inspired the play and those who have followed in their footsteps. Ranging from a casual kick about to artistic sessions to listening forums, Extra Time offers a free to attend range of activities, open for anyone and everyone to explore and connect with something extra to the performances happening on stage.
