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.
"Liverpool was made for me, and I was made for Liverpool. "Bill Shankly
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.
"David Peace's fictional portrait of the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly is so hypnotic that even the football-averse might enjoy it." Mark Lawson, The Guardian
"David Peace brings perfect pitch to this ode to Bill Shankly's Liverpool reign." Frank Cottrell-Boyce, The Observer
A love letter to a great manager, an elegy to the beautiful game." Doug Johnstone The Independent

Since you’re here…
… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.
You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.
Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
Donate to Mama Biashara now
Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
