James Willstrop: Daddy, Tomorrow Will I Be A Man?

UNSQUASHABLE player James Willstrop, a fiercely driven squash player singularly focused on reaching the summit of his sport, stands on the brink of becoming the World No.1 in squash. But a chance encounter forces him to confront a life-altering dilemma that could unravel everything he has dedicated himself to achieving.

As he pushes through the most gruelling training session of his career, played out in real time, memories of his late mother, Lesley, who passed away when he was just 17, resurface with poignant clarity. Through these tender reflections, James Willstrop begins to reevaluate his understanding of ambition, triumph, and emotional vulnerability.

'Daddy, Tomorrow Will I Be A Man?' is a moving musical tribute that explores the complex intersections of elite sport, maternal love, and fatherhood. It’s a heartfelt exploration of what truly defines success - on and off the squash court.
