A phenomenon in Scotland where it has sold out countless nationwide tours, a sensation at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival and now touring throughout the United Kingdom & Eire.

Israeli vs Palestinian, Catholic v Protestant, Celtic vs Rangers…

When tribal factions clash can reason ever prevail?

A play exploring bigotry and ethnic identity.

What happens when, on the day of the Old Firm Match, you lock a Celtic and Rangers fan in a cell together?

Fireworks! And a weird kind of unity.

Two hate filled rival football fans locked up in the same prison cell verbally lacerate each other while their teams assemble for the derby in the stadium nearby.

In this crucible, Billy and Tim vent all their fears, bigotry, paranoia, misconceptions and, most significantly, the mutual loathing that has shaped their whole lives.  The lads’ collision is not just a matter of football rivalry, but a very serious clash of cultures with all the deep-seated bigotry that that entails.

Face to face with the object of their hatred, do they choose to destroy each other or to confront their demons and start a dialogue towards some kind of ceasefire?

A potent allegory for peace processes all over the world, Des Dillon’s extraordinary moving and hilarious “Singin’ I’m No A Billy, He’s a Tim” speaks for any divided culture where polarisation is inbred and prejudice governs reason.

When drama is supposed to reflect society, what better arena than the sport that grips society most?

“There’s more to football than football”.
