One Night in Istanbul

About

The legendary 2005 European Cup Final soccer match between Liverpool and AC Milan at Istanbul's Ataturk Stadium has been crowned as the "Miracle of Istanbul," and, like all miracles, it has provided an inspirational source to tell other kinds of stories. Nicky Allt's sensational play, "One Night in Istanbul," is about two loyal Liverpool fans, Tom Kelly and Gerry Edwards, who travel to Istanbul with their sons. The play follows the ensuing hi-jinks and adventures as they desperately seek tickets, so that they can experience the magic of the moment when Liverpool raises the trophy. Allt's comedic wit and fierce modern voice thoroughly shine in this hip contemporary work.
