3Poland 3 Iran 2 at Toynbee Studios Bar 31 May 2011

30Bird Productions presents Poland 3 Iran 2, with Mehrdad Seyf, Chris Dobrowolski, at the Toynbee Studios Bar, in east London from 31 may to 4 June 2011.

In 1976, the best ever Polish football team played against the best ever Iranian football team in the Montreal Olympics. Such a clash of talent led to a memorable game with Poland edging to a 3-2 win.

A continent apart and supporting different teams the game fascinated both Mehrdad Seyf and Chris Dobrowolski. Thirty-five years on, using the match as a backdrop and as a catalyst, the two friends discuss football, revolution, swimming, chess, love and Subbuteo. Sprinkled with gentle humour, poignant family tales and frank historical truths, Poland 3 Iran 2 captures how much two people from drastically different backgrounds have in common both locally and internationally.

Poland 3 Iran 2 will be presented in its natural setting - in thebar.
