Following on from the success of the last few years (Merry Ding Dong, Scouse Pacific, Little Scouse On The Prairie, A Nightmare On Lime Street) Fred Lawless has set the action in space and the show is called The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Fazakerley and now the Royal Court Theatre has announced the cast for this fantastic festive offering for 2013.

The cast can now be confirmed as Michael Starke, Lindzi Germain, Lynn Francis, Angela Simms and Jack Rigby! Michael, Lindzi and Lynn were all in last year’s brilliant comedy A Nightmare on Lime Street but this is the first Christmas show for Jack (Our Day Out, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Angela (Ladies Day). The show will be directed by Royal Court Artistic Director Ken Alexander and the Musical Director will be Howard Gray.

Fred Lawless is delighted to be back, “I’m absolutely thrilled to have been asked to write what will be my 5th successive Christmas show for the Royal Court. The script is coming along nicely and I’m confident that people who have been to see my previous Christmas shows will really enjoy it.”

Kevin Fearon, the show’s producer, can’t wait to get started, “A Fred Lawless show is now the Christmas tradition at The Court and we can’t wait to get going on this one. We’re delighted to be able to welcome Mickey, Lindzi and Lynn back and Angela impressed us in Ladies Day. Jack is a great actor and we have been looking to get him involved here for a while. They are all great actors and singers so it is going to be another great Christmas really show!”

The show will run from 22nd November 2013 to 11th January 2014 and tickets are available from £14. Tickets and information for all productions are available from www.royalcourtliverpool.com or on 0870 787 1866.
