Singin' I'm No A Billy, He's A Tim
Sat 27 Sep at 7:30pm
Corn Exchange, Haddington
Des Dillon's award winning play, in Haddington
Force adversaries to talk and you may achieve peace.
What happens when you lock up a Celtic fan with a Rangers fan on the day of the big match?
Fireworks! That’s What!
Event Description
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, broadwayworld.com
