SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND SIR?

Last updated : 09 May 2003 By Editor
The brilliant "United! Despatched from Old Trafford" by
Richard Kurt will be returning to Manchester on 15, 16 & 17
May at the Dance House Theatre, opposite the BBC on Oxford
Road. The show got rave reviews from Reds who saw it when it
was on at the Contact Theatre before Christmas, a must see
event.

In a nutshell:

Burt is a home and away Red who has landed himself a job as
an official tour guide at OT, bored with the script he has
been given by the men in suits he decides to give his tour
party a proper insight into what it is like being a United
fan.

Constantly barracked by the plc thought police in the form
of the disembodied voice of 'the beast' Burt goes on a
ninety minute romp through United history; Cantona's signing
from Leeds, Paddy Crerand's defence of Eric post Selhurst
Park and the trip to Croydon magistrates court are dealt
with brilliantly with a timely defence of Roy Keane thrown
in for good measure.

The stealing of Billy Meredith and Sandy Turnbull from City;
a Munich tribute which recalls all those who died and not
just the players; the fall and rise of 'da godfadah
Foiguson' and the introduction of 'Reservoir Dogs' in the
shape of the Nevilles, Beckham, Butt, Scholes and Giggs is
topped off with a clever one-man depiction of Barca '99 and
the 'shagtastic marathon' in which George Best confirms his
status as a 'lad's legend' by 'skin-surfing' his way to a
magnificent seven conquests in one 24-hour period.
If you like your football free from the marketing man's
gloss then don't miss this show.
