Health And Safety Goes Mad At The Epstein As David Spicer’s Brand New Comedy Premiers In Liverpool.

The Epstein Theatre plays host to the world premiere of a new riotous comedy next week.

Playwright David Spicer’s hilarious Health and Safety is being staged on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th February 2020 at the Hanover Street venue.

When the country’s top Health and Safety officers gather for their Annual National Conference what could possibly go wrong?… as it turns out, absolutely everything!

Disaster abounds in this hysterically rude and wonderfully un-politically correct comedy about the people on a mission to stop us climbing trees, playing conkers or putting our poodles in the microwave.

Ed Gamble, Blizzard. Comedy Review, Epstein Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It is in the power of a storm that makes a Blizzard one of high tension and drama, the subtle falling of a snow that catches the lights and makes the gentle smile brighten up any face, can soon become a torrent, a fast flowing tornado of expression, a gale of the stuff that will keep you penned in your seats, absorbing every drop of nature that falls from above, and whilst it might catch you unawares, believing for a while that it will just be an inch or two to snip through with ease as you place your toes into the world of snowflakes and warm memories, instead the outpouring leaves you helpless, submerged, unable to do anything but admit that a Blizzard is a gamble worth enjoying.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: An Interview With Claire Simmo.

Pantomime is special, it is social glue that binds generations and allows children their first journeys into appreciating theatre. It is also almost uniquely British, undeniably good fun and something that captures the inner child in us all. We may take our children and grandchildren along in the hope they will entertained, educated and thrilled by the music, the jokes and the magic that comes with a trip to see that Fairy Godmothers do exist, in which the hero and heroine of the story live happily ever after and the joy of the Pantomime Dame lead the audience through the innuendo, however it is as much for the adult in the group as it is the child.
