Being a socially awkward teenager is hard enough but when you don’t fit in with anybody, when neither the conformists or the radicals will take you in and give you a place at their table, the only course of action is to start your own group, your own movement and if wins you respect or the love of the girl you fancy, then being a Radpole is a position to hold sacred and true to your soul.

When an abandoned baby comes into their lives, the daughter and father team that live inside the ruins of a junk yard are given a chance to nurture and care for something other than where life has treated them with disrespect and the cold shoulder of indifference by their fellow man.

Echoes, Theatre Review. Zoo, Edinburgh Festival 2016.

 

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Luke Barton, Jill Rutland.

Behind locked doors nobody knows what horrors a family can be put through, what nightmares one family member can wreck upon another; it is the last vestige of unexplored horror because nobody quite knows how to deal with it when it might be apparent but nobody reports it.

Moonface, Theatre Review. Zoo Southside, Edinburgh Festival 2016.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Molly McGeachin, Lucy Managan, Grace Church.

Life is not predictable, you are not able to look into a crystal ball and gaze with wonder at what will be, the children you will have, the career you will end up in, the friends you will fall in love with and those that will stay the course forever.

Life is a series of accidents that somehow manage to form together a relationship with Time and it is Time that plays with the minds of three women in the superb Edinburgh Fringe show at Zoo Southside, Moonface.

Patrick Monahan: That 80s Show, Comedy Review, The Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Festival 2016.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It was the decade of big hair, of shoulder pads and Dynasty, of power dressing, Dallas and sweat bands, the 80s may have been responsible for many ills that many remember but it was also a decade that for those who swam in its swirling mists with glee and possible terror will never forget.

Wendy Wason, Comedy Review. The Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Festival 2016.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

We are all Matryoshka Dolls, the space in which we inhabit on the Earth only made possible because of all the people we are inside, the separate pieces that make up us, whether it be father, son, nephew, art lover, or mother, daughter, wife and comedian, we are all made up of small pieces of us that decrease in size till you hit that final Babushka, the tiny and brimming with potential human that is frail, afraid and hopeful, sometimes even just excited to get out of the house.
