Red or Dead

Author(s): David Peace, adapted by Philip Breen Company: Liverpool’s Royal Court

“Although I’m a Scot, I’d be proud to be called a Scouser.”

Bill Shankly

Brought to Liverpool from Preston 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 Philip Breen (Royal Shakespeare Company, Clwyd Theatr Cymru) this will be the world première of an epic show that will encapsulate the story of a Liverpool legend, who did much to define the passion of the modern game.
