Bend It Like Bertie - A Play by Jim Orr
Denise Mullen is a divorced mother of two teenagers, cares for her elderly father and has an extremely stressful job. The only thing that is keeping Denise sane is her beloved Celtic. They are stockpiling trophies and Denise knows just how it feels to be Celtic!
Denise is hoping her Celtic can continue their trophy haul. ...enter Bertie Auld!
Danny Mullen is footloose and fancy free and looking forward to the New Year. The only thing that is getting Danny down is his beloved Celtic. Both Celtic and Danny have forgotten what a trophy looks like and Danny knows just how it feels to be Celtic!
Danny is hoping his Celtic can win a trophy, any bloody trophy! ...enter Bertie Auld!
Follow the antics of Denise and Danny in the new comedy play, "Bend it like Bertie" to see if Bertie can help make their wishes come true.
