The pressure we are placing on our children as we live vicariously through their actions is almost as dangerous as the situations and times that we find ourselves in as we stumble through the last few years with unresolved anger and resentment banging on our doors as negativity, as jealousy and creativity clash in a way that we perhaps arguably as a species have never faced before.

The scars of war never truly fade and that is arguably the truest sentiment when it comes to the devastation visited upon Liverpool and Bootle during the dark days of The Blitz. Any visitor to the city, any person who has lived in the two neighbouring towns, will still be overawed by the monuments to the dead and the long nights endured by the people during the campaign to bring the people to their knees.
Award winning actress Lynne Fitzgerald will star in the new comedy play to be performed at the Lantern Theatre in April, No Second Bite by Belvedere Pashun (Norma Jeane The Musical, WAG! The Musical).
Ms. Fitzgerald plays Bella, the bored, single, forty something entrepreneur who has a life changing encounter when she buys an apologetic cup of coffee for a complete stranger, (Chris played by Jaiden Micheal).

Cast: Mickey Finn, Clare Bowles, Charlie Griffiths, Lynne Fitzgerald.
As with many old, but undeniably great, habits and ways, the great British local pub, the bastion of native ways and hopes and drama, has for many years been on the road to serious decline. Cheap alternatives driven by greed and solitude have become the normal pursuit in some respects that the social constraints in which bound a community, a section of the communal population together has been driven headlong into a nearby abyss of soulless apathy.
Award winning actress and comedy writer Lynne Fitzgerald bring audiences her new hilarious play, Show Us Your Tips, to the St.Helens Theatre Royal this month.
Set over one night in a Scouse Ale House and stars Liverpool’s finest comedian Mickey Finn playing Scotch-soaked landlord said, “How can you go wrong with Mickey Finn in your cast, he is hilarious.”
Mickey’s moaning groaning wife and landlady will be played by Irish singer and actress Clare Bowles, who adds, “I am thrilled to be working in another of Lynne’s plays as it’s always a hoot, although I am just over 4ft tall and the set bar is also 4ft so I’m struggling to see over the top of it.” She laughs, “Lynne assures me once I have my beehive wig on, all will be fine.”
With another spectacular season drawn to a close, St. Helens Theatre Royal is delighted to announce what it has in store for audiences for the remainder of 2013.

Comics Steve Shanyaski, Alex Boardman and Will E. Robo, under the watchful eye of M.C. Mickey D. are heading to the Theatre Royal for the first time ever to provide laughs a minute evening of comedy capers.
If there is one thing above all that Boom Boom Productions offer anybody who pokes their head round the door of a theatre is a night of great comedy, the second thing they offer is…simply a great night of comedy. Fresh from a critically acclaimed run at The Epstein Theatre with the excellent If The Shoe Fits which starred amongst others Donna Lesley Price, Charlie Griffiths, Angela Simms and Jodie Nesbitt Shaw, the producers are now back with another hilarious comedy Bon Voyage this September and tickets are now on sale.

To see how far an idea can go, to see it flourish and become part of a city’s conscious, you don’t have to go a long way from the centre of town to the Epstein Theatre to witness the power of a great play and the imagination to keep taking it one stage further. When the Unity Theatre staged Donna Lesley Price’s supremely funny play If The Shoe Fits, no one could surely have envisioned just how it would grow and take root. From the Unity to the Floral Pavilion on the other side of the Mersey and now to one of the heart-land theatres, If The Shoe Fits continues to blossom and be an outstanding piece of Liverpool theatre.
Donna Lesley Price and Richie Grice are out of breath after travelling for an interminable age from across the Wirral, through the congested and rammed tunnel system that goes underneath the Mersey and finally racing across town to get to The Unity. The last thing I want to do is make them talk about their play, If the Shoe Fits, as they have already been working hard doing interviews all day.
