Billy & Tim The Young Offenders
Billy & Tim – The Young Offenders
“Force adversaries to talk and you may achieve peace.”
What happens when you lock up two sworn rivals on the day of the big match?
Fireworks!!! Then something extraordinary.
Winner of the coveted Stage Award for Acting Excellence and hailed with multiple ? reviews at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Des Dillon’s award winning play has been touring for over 20 years and continues to resonate powerfully with contemporary audiences.
Alan Chadwick described it as “Scottish theatre’s greatest success story of recent times” while Joyce McMillan of The Scotsman called it “One of the shortest and most gripping two-hour shows in current Scottish theatre.”
While the play begins with confrontation, it evolves into something far more universal. Through blistering humour, raw energy and emotional depth, it becomes an allegory for peace processes across the world.
A story about dialogue, understanding and the possibility of reconciliation in divided communities.
It is a powerful reminder that when adversaries are forced to talk, change can happen.
“As powerful a piece of comedy as anything else on at the Fringe.”
– Thom Dibdin – The Stage
