Getting The Third Degree is the story of Laurie Cunningham who came to prominence with football club West Bromwich Albion in the late 1970's. Cunningham - one of the black footballing trio famously dubbed The Three Degrees - with swaggering style and dazzling skills invited favourable comparisons with the legendary Pele. The first black footballer to sign for the mighty Real Madrid and only the second to win a full cap for England, Cunningham inspired a whole generation of young black players to follow in his pioneering footsteps. Getting The Third Degree explores how Cunningham and fellow black players - Brendon Batson and Cyrille Regis - triumphed over the racial abuse and physical threats orchestrated by The National Front through a potent combination of footballing brilliance, charismatic style and compelling dignity.Commissioned by kick it out,directed by RoughHouse Theatre, produced by Roughhouse theatre and Live Wire Theatre
