BEATING BERLUSCONI!

Beating Berlusconi

 

This new footballing comedy is set to tour the North West throuthout May

 “A real page turner - you’ve captured the city.” Jimmy McGovern

Written by Radio 4 playwright, John Graham Davies,  BEATING BERLUSCONI is based on the bizarre true story of a real Liverpool fan who went to the Istanbul final in 2005, somehow got into the AC Milan Director’s box and then almost had a fight with the Mussolini loving Italian PM when the Reds equalised.

Drawing on this true story as its inspiration, BEATING BERLUSCONI is the hilarious story of one man’s attempt to rediscover his belief in himself, his club, his city and his class.

 

 

If so Friends of the Earth are hosting a short film competition this year to do just that -getting people thinking creatively about the environment during Liverpool's Year of the Environment 2009. 
 
If you'd like to hear more, come along to the competition launch at FACT, Wood Street, on Thursday 7 May, from 5.30pm - 8pm
