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-Rangers 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.
'The sheer vitality of the theatrical writing - the seamless combination of verbal wit and raw kinetic energy, and the pure dynamic strength of the play’s structure - makes this show feel like one of the shortest and most gripping two-hour shows in current Scottish theatre.' The Scotsman
