Prepare to be taken on a ghostly journey as brand new Liverpool Theatre Company Wild Flowers Productions bring their new play to the Epstein for one night only on August 16th 2014. Their debut piece, Wild Flowers was critically acclaimed after a run last year at the Unity and Epstein theatres and now their new comedy, The Morgue Table is back, due to popular demand after a successful run at the Capstone and The Atkinson in June.
Written By Franny Conlin, this is a story about two inmates of Walton prison, Ike and Maddox, who are propositioned by their governor, Mr. Grime to venture into the haunted tunnels beneath the prison and destroy the old morgue table.
It is believed that once the table is destroyed, the unrested souls that haunt the prison will finally be at peace.
With the promise of reduced sentences if they succeed in their task, Ike and Maddox accept the mission and team up with Screwball, A prison guard. Whilst scouring the spooky tunnels, they uncover a dark secret that changes everything and their mission takes a new direction.
The Story is brought to life further with the inclusion of 12 musical numbers that promise to tug on the heart-strings and have you singing along. All The music has been written and produced by Allerton’s very own Malcolm French.
Russell Parry, Director of The Morgue Table said, ‘I’m so excited to be bringing this new play to the Epstein. I’m really proud of this production – It’s a real collaborative effort of grass roots talented performers and it’s been a pleasure to work with them all. We have had great feedback after our run in June and due to demand, we have decided to put it on again for one night only at the Epstein Theatre. I’m looking forward to be working with the team over there again – It’s a beautiful theatre with a great history and I believe our new Liverpool comedy will look great on there! If you want to have an evening of scares, laughs, music and most of all genuine entertainment, then ‘The Morgue Table’ is definitely for you!’
