Beating Berlusconi

In May 2005, despite threats from his wife and bank manager, Kenny Noonan travels to Istanbul to watch Liverpool in the Champions' League Final. He carries the scars of thirty years as a Red - Heysel, Hillsborough and of living in a city which has been demonised by the Tory government. But for Kenny, as for most socialist Scousers, hop springs eternal.

Featuring Merseyside favourite Paul Duckworth (Everyman Co, 2018), Beating Berlusconi! is a roller-coaster tale of one man's attempt to re-discover his belief in himself, his club, his city and his class. Paul's virtuoso, chameleon performance and the 'sparkling script' have been acclaimed from Tipperary to Tromso as a 'tour-de-force', 'hilarious', 'staggering', 'mesmerising', 'reflective, eloquent, loveable, cocky and deeply sad - a master class'.
