Kryil Louis-Dreyfus is looking forward to The Sunderland Story making its debut at the Sunderland Empire later this year. The production, which runs from Wednesday 17 May – Saturday 27 May, will celebrates one of the glorious 1973 FA Cup win.
It's approaching the 50th anniversary of the historical triumph and the production will tell the story of the triumph and continue to tell the story of the club right up until the 2022 League One play-off final win.
Louis Dreyfus told SAFC: “When I initially came, I didn’t know too much about the history of the club but what was really clear to me was how important the history is to the fanbase. The first thing I heard from 99.9% of the people I spoke to here was about the 1973 FA Cup final which mimics how important it is for everyone that is associated with the football club.

“Given that it is the 50 year anniversary is coming up this year, I think it is amazing that everyone here has put in the effort to try and bring the whole history and tell it in a different way.”
Louis-Dreyfus continued: “I’ve spent hours with Rob Mason (club historian) talking about the history but it’s going to be interesting to see that being told in a musical and artistic way. Hopefully it should be good entertainment for every Sunderland fan, it doesn’t matter the age.”
