What happens when you lock up a Celtic fan with a Rangers fan on the day of the big match?

Fireworks! That’s What!

Des Dillon delights, entertains and educates on the religious origins of Celtic-Ranger conflict.

Beneath its amusement, this award winning play explores bigotry and ethnic identity on both a microcosmic and macrocosmic scale. Through the lens of the two characters locked in a prison cell, we witness the generational repercussions of Catholic and Protestant strife.

Furthermore the play functions as a broader allegory, addressing bigotry-motivated hate across multiple communities. It extends beyond the immediate conflict, including references to the UK immigration crisis and tensions in Palestine, making it a powerful commentary on the universal nature of prejudice and division.

“It's delightful to see a distinctly Scottish issue brought to the theatrical forefront.

Singin' I'm No A Billy, He's a Tim scores big with a pitch-perfect performance, dribbling between humour and social commentary with finesse.” - Mary Baillie
