Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Lucy Fiori, Austin Mitchell Hewitt.

Theatre is important for the development of younger minds; it allows the child or pre-teen to be immersed into a world where they can interact and understand their emotions in a way that quite often television and film cannot convey because of the system being a one-way flow of information.

Of all the emotions that humans suffer, jealousy is arguably one of the worst, it brings out a certain vileness, a baseness of feeling which can lead to unpleasantness, contempt, and in the end the destruction of friendships and love through a lowness of action that is on par with despicability.

If you believe Hollywood, or even British science fiction television serials, you might well consider that alien life forms would only ever deem that the United States of America and the U.K. were viable places for alien invasion, that the rest of the world, just is not the right place for first contact, or for the end of humanity.

Occasionally you just have to sit back and be astonished at how a film manages to be given the green light to see the light of day, how, despite the odds, it morphs into a franchise that keeps going, and how it hooks in one of the most respected and gracious actors of his time, the honourable Morgan Freeman, to what is surely no more than a down market version of No Way Out, a simplistic, basic thriller that leaves a taste so thin in the mouth that it could be mistaken for gruel.

Mercutio was ahead of his time as he lay dying in the arms of Romeo, a plague has indeed been visited upon all our houses, but not the direct one you may be thinking of, but instead the beast of burden which has seen audiences and theatres changing completely their style of interaction with each other, the after effects of a life changing situation meaning that to engage with the public and give them hope in what has been a period of uncertainty.
