We promised it would be back and now we can announce that the brilliant "United! Despatches 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.
Here are the views of some Forumistas who went last time:
'arold!!!!!!!!!!!!! - great stuff - seans17

If you enjoy the sort of humour you find in Red Issue you'll love this show. It is very funny and I recommend it. - WroteForLuck

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.
