Find out in Des Dillon’s outrageous comedy of football, bigotry and mutual loathing. Billy and Tim are two average Old Firm fans who find themselves spending game day trapped together in a cell. Having been steeped in sectarianism from the start, can they discover any mutual ground?

“A piece of world class popular theatre for our time”
The Scotsman – FIVE STARS
Peer Gynt is a dreamer... a liar... and a serial womaniser
This radical interpretation of Ibsen’s classic play takes the audience on a truly wild theatrical journey of trolls, madmen, dancing girls and live music.
Cast out from his home town, Peer embarks on a thrilling and astonishing adventure in search of fame and fortune that takes him from Norway to Africa and eventually back home again. A theatrical roller-coaster ride through one of the most renowned works of modern literature.
VIDEO – Watch the Peer Gynt trailer made by the National Theatre of Scotland

THAT'S ALL FOLKS! |
And that brings us to the end of another eNewsletter - it's been a great season here at the Lyceum, so I hope you were able to catch a play or two (or three or four...) and that you liked what you saw.
As the above info shows, there's still plenty happening here in Grindlay Street over the summer, and it'll not be long until we're back with the new season and it'll all begin again...
Hope you have a great May and June and look out for our next eNewsletter in mid July - bye for now!
