“Peter Mullan is sensational” ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Times
This epic show, with a cast of 52, is the fictionalised story of one man, Bill Shankly and his work and of his life after that work. A man of two halves.
“A brilliant performance”⭐⭐⭐⭐Liverpool Echo
“Box Office gold”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Must See Theatre
Brought to Liverpool from Huddersfield to fire the red heat of a revolution, Bill Shankly had one aim. To build Liverpool Football Club up and up until they were invincible.
“A superb adaptation of a wonderful novel”⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐North West End
“Mullan is utterly captivating”⭐⭐⭐⭐Arts City Liverpool
“Simultaneously dramatic and hypnotic”⭐⭐⭐⭐Good News Liverpool
Promotion, the first division title, the FA Cup and success in Europe all followed as Shankly defined what it was to be a Liverpool fan. He demanded total loyalty from his players and coaches. A loyalty that he hoped would be repaid when he retired.
“All I ask is that we try to make the people happy.” Bill Shankly
Adapted and directed by Phillip Breen (Royal Shakespeare Company, Clwyd Theatre Cymru) this will be the World premiere of an epic show that will have you on your feet and crying out the great man’s name. Don’t miss it.
