Dreaming Of A Barry White Christmas, Theatre Review. The Auditorium, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Andrew Schofield, Alan Stocks, Paul Duckworth, Keddy Sutton, Gillian Hardie, Lenny Wood.

A different setting, a changed venue, can make all the difference between wildly incredible and drop dead tremendous.

For the second year running the area around the Echo Arena played host to Dave Kirby’s sensational and uproarious Dreaming Of A Barry White Christmas and yet just to take it out of the main arena in which the echo of Christmas Day’s Past Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and Peter Gabriel songs were still bouncing off the walls and in which Deacon Blue’s soulful pop was still to grace, the Auditorium became a more natural staging in which to completely immerse one’s self into the world of Thomas Minge and his collection of oddities and workers with the most wonderful but very peculiar habits.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Lenny Wood.

Lenny Wood sits down and smiles broadly with the assurance of a comic actor who knows just the right thing to put you at ease.  This young man has done so much in his life already that it doesn’t seem a surprise when you go through the list of achievements and plays that he has acting credits in.  The putting at ease is paramount when it comes to someone who can make you laugh with just flick of eyebrow, the right word, even off the cuff, in the right place and the ability to make to make any comic creation they play seem endearing and as someone you would want to be friends with.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Keddie Sutton And Gillian Hardie.

The Albert Dock is as important to Liverpool’s history as it is to its future. The images of vast sailing ships from across the globe relieving their important load into the waiting arms of many a stevedore is tinged with sepia romanticism that is hard to ignore or displace in time. Neither is the image of a bustling city, one that has retained its dignity when others set out to destroy it, either through lies, blatant and outrageous disgusting ones; or through a political dogma in which they sensed that the passion of its people could bring them and their misguided ideology  down.
