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.

Government and constitutional farce are alive and well and thriving. It could be argued that it is down to the political landscape that never seems to want to give up its grip on absurdity and restriction that sees the genre constantly able to entertain and give people the chills in equal and demanding measure.

To combine the precision of a cinematic lens and the immediacy and freedom that the theatre provides is to perhaps immerse an audience into a noirish cascade of emotional uncertainty, one that leaves them breathless, suitably claustrophobic in their minds and one that gives the senses free reign to relish, to take absolute pleasure in the psychological fear that out there in the world is a disease that has the potential to place humanity in danger.

Time never changes, it just alters the angle in which you stare at it, until finally you realise that what has already gone, has returned, and normally with even greater ferocity and fire than before.

Faith, hope and charity, depending on your point of view, and what your station is in life, seems to be out of favour, nestled somewhere between ignorance and damnation, lies and misdeeds.
Yet for some these qualities exist under the strong umbrella held aloft like a sword up by compassion and sometimes we need to remind others that they too can benefit from this intervention of the soul, that not everything in life should or needs to be about money, that we should be thinking of the effect the world is having on our family, to listen without needing to reply but to understand; faith, hope, charity, compassion and love, these are the gifts we should be looking to bestow.

Thanks to the internet, we all know a Karen, or at least a facsimile of her, the crude interpretation that could have gone by any name, but which represents the base line to which we expect certain individuals to have their say. The moment of excruciating agony when a waiter or anyone in the service industry comes up against their nemesis, the one who demands to see the manager over the most frivolous and bizarre claims, that is where the Karen comes in, all seeing, all justified, and either scary or frustrating.
