In his play "Singin I'm No a Billy He's a Tim" Des Dillon explores the intense antagonism between Celtic and Rangers fans, representing Scotland's sectarian division. Tim, a Celtic fan, and Billy, a Rangers fan, are imprisoned together on the day of an important match.
This constrained intimacy sparks humour and insight. The drama examines the fierce sectarian antagonism between the two football fan groups, a bigger Scottish social issue. The drama forces both characters to confront their preconceptions and examine their childhood convictions. As Billy and Tim argue, share tales, and learn each other's opinions, their relationship changes. Despite its humour, the drama takes change and reconciliation extremely seriously. Comedy may increase the impact and accessibility of social discourse. Throughout the narrative, both characters develop and contemplate. The drama suggests that despite ingrained bigotry, people can change and grow.
It will be published in paperback on December 1, 2024, allowing new audiences to experience its powerful humour. Through an entertaining and educational tale, it fosters critical thinking on cultural differences and individual prejudices.
