Art, as the most profound suggest, should always comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, it is only in challenging any set down convention that we grow as a society and whilst there are subjects in which it is impossible not to feel any type of revulsion, that don’t just make the stomach want to heave slightly at the thought, sometimes, and quite rightly, we should and must find ourselves listening to a slightly different view. It is only in that we can question and probe our own psychology deeper and our understanding of the world, especially those in which commit the heinous act and those who scream vitriol and abuse as if appointed judge of all.

Daniel, Theatre Review. Everyman Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Philip Shaun McGuinness, Wesley Wharton, Nick Crosbie.

Natasia Hodge, musician, actor, singer, director and soon to be company head of B Tales, takes the story of Daniel from the Old Testament, and unlike Noah, delivers a fine piece of work in which, thanks to the excellent cast and the sublime writing of Laura-Kate Barrows and some clever effects and excellent additional music, is itself just as stirring as the Biblical text laid down.
