Powerful comedy with a serious message
12 August 2009
What happens when you lock up a Celtic fan with a Rangers fan on the day of the Old Firm match? Fireworks, that`s what!
Singin` I`m No A Billy He`s A Tim - NLP Theatre Company`s powerful comedy with a serious message - comes to Belfast Waterfront`s Studio on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September.
Billy, a die hard Rangers fan, and Tim, a faithful Celtic supporter, are locked up together on the day of the Old Firm Match. Billy and Tim have been steeped in bigotry since birth. Is it possible for them to change their views? And why is the warden waiting on tenterhooks for the phone to ring...?
Des Dillon`s entertaining comedy highlights the nature of bigotry and sectarianism within the West of Scotland while the play also takes its two protagonists on a journey of self discovery...
Singin` I`m No A Billy He`s A Tim contains strong language.
