 | BILLY WONDERFUL is about fathers, sons, and football. ". . .there is one thing. One thing I believe in. One thing you can. I think . . . I really think . . . there is a thing. I believe . . . are yer listenin'? I do believe. I believe. In football." As one-time boy wonder Billy Walters relives his debut in a Merseyside 'derby' match at the age of nineteen, ninety minutes cuts across twenty-two years and fellow players becomes family and friends, enemies and lovers. Can Billy achieve his lifelong ambition of scoring the winner in the derby, and is there really such a thing as life after football? Nick Leather, one of the North-West's most prominent young playwrights, brings us a fast-paced coming of age story pulsing with all the excitement and physicality of Match Day. | |||||
