This Friday, audiences will be treated to an engaging and thought-provoking performance of "Lockdown: The Celtic-Rangers Conflict," a play by Des Dillon that humorously yet critically examines the age-old rivalry between football fans. Set against the backdrop of a highly anticipated match, the story follows a Celtic fan and a Rangers fan who find themselves locked together in a prison cell. Through their interactions, Dillon delves into the deeply rooted religious and ethnic tensions that fuel this conflict, showcasing the generational impact of bigotry and division. While the setup promises fireworks in the form of heated banter and comedic exchanges, the play ultimately serves as a powerful allegory about the destructive nature of hate. By forcing adversaries to communicate, Dillon suggests there may be hope for understanding and, ultimately, peace in a divided society. This award-winning production is sure to entertain and educate, inviting audiences to reflect on the importance of dialogue in overcoming conflict.
