| Synopsis: | Broad swipes against some of the Catholic church's excesses.The self-help platitudes spouted by the assorted worshippers fit the bill too as they convened on an Italian hilltop in search of redemption to find a monk doing penance but possessed with strange healing hands. Posh Suzanne has already been saved by Fabian by the time Glasgow chancers Pat and Davy arrive with shell-shocked Jay in tow. With a money-grabbing Abbot calling the shots from below and a muscle-bound landowner out for revenge, it's all go, especially when the chapel they've built to replace the burned-down monastery appears to turn into a celestial Tardis. Neil Cooper, Herald | |||||

| Synopsis: | 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 | |||||
