Singin' I'm No A Billy He's A Tim
NLP
Singin' I'm No a Billy He's A Tim is a humorous and often poignant snapshot of the pervasive sectarian divide which still exists in the west of Scotland.
What could be worse for a Celtic fan than being locked up in a police cell on the day of an Old Firm match?
For Tim, there is one thing worse - finding himself banged up with Billy, a fervent Rangers supporter.
Des Dillon`s entertaining comedy highlights the nature of bigotry and sectarianism within the West of Scotland. The play also takes our two protagonists on a journey of self discovery.
Hail Hail, We are the People!!
Praise for Des Dillon's Singin` I'm No a Billy, He's a Tim:
"One of the shortest and most gripping two-hour shows in current Scottish theatre, far more vividly connected to the real life of Scotland than most of the work I review"
- Joyce McMillan, The Herald
"One look at the audience crowding into the theatre tells you Singin' I'm No a Billy He's a Tim is reaching the parts that other theatre can't reach"
- Mark Fisher, The Guardian
"Goes down a storm with fans on both sides of the Old firm divide"
- Billy Sloan, Sunday Mail
N.B. This play contains strong language and is recommended for people aged 16+
