"Writer John Graham Davies can certainly hit a punch line. This play isn’t just based on a true story. It’s based on thousands."
LIVERPOOL POST

"Mesmerising…hilarious scattergun scenes. Duckworth is outstanding. The gags flowed all evening."
LIVERPOOL ECHO

 

Fresh from ecstatic reviews and a huge word-of-mouth following in 2009, Paul Duckworth and his forty characters take to the road again in this hilarious, lump in your throat comedy.

Despite threats from his wife and bank manager, in May 2005 middle-aged Kenny Noonan travels to Istanbul to watch Liverpool play AC Milan in the Champions’ League final. He carries the scars of thirty years as a Red - Heysel, Hillsborough, Alex Ferguson - and of living in a city which has been demonised.

What happened to Liverpool FC in the second half is legend. What happened to Kenny in the AC Milan directors’ box is stranger than fiction.

Beating Berlusconi! is based on the now famous true story of a real Liverpool fan who ended up sitting next to Silvio Berlusconi at the Attaturk Stadium.

It’s a story of love and friendship, of defeat and of victory.
