When a West Indian cricket team from Brixton are invited to play a charity game in a small English village, members of both teams have their reservations.

A weekend in the country away from the inner city produces unexpected results both on and off the field of play. Playing Away subtly explores and undermines white and black stereotypes and succeeds in linking two familiar but distinct cultures through the simple device of a cricket match.
