Caz ‘N’ Britney To Return To Scottie Road And The Unity In January.

After a sell-out run at unity and Epstein Theatre in 2011 and 2012, the Unity Theatre are excited to welcome back the formidable Caz ‘n’ Britney as they embark on a sublimely anarchic and utterly hilarious journey through the streets of Liverpool, prison and back home to of course, Scottie Road!

From Friday 10th to Saturday 18th January, the show which has been described as anarchic and surprising (Seen Magazine) and which Liverpool Sound and Vision gave a 5 star rating to, will see the return of the excellent Gillian Hardie and the outrageously funny Keddy Sutton as two superb comic creations Caz ‘n’ Britney, two Liverpool girls who wear their pyjamas and Ugg boots with pride and who make the most of high quality cuisine as they scoff their pasties  and who burst into song at any given moment.

Dean Friedman, Gig Review. Epstein Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The applause could have rung out all night inside the Epstein Theatre; Dean Friedman can have also performed well into the small hours of the following day if time deemed it possible. However, even the sight of the American music maker on stage for two sets was more than enough in the end to placate the crowd who had sat thrilled and elated by the sound of the man, his melody and his music.

Bon Voyage, Theatre Review. Epstein Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Jennifer Bea, Lindzi Germain, Michael Swift, Warren Donnelly, Tony James, Richie Grice, Mickey Finn.

The thing with some productions is that they do exactly what they say on the tin, there is no small print suggesting that the production will be akin to some lost Shakespeare play, full of pathos and anger, cunning and revenge. Instead it just happens to be good, in some cases very good at being able to give people exactly what they need, especially in a world that seems to be very bleak and full of unpleasantness, that of laughter and an excuse to crack a smile and laugh till it hurts. For Bon Voyage, presented by Boom Boom Productions, this is that type of play and for that the smile just got a little broader.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Richie Grice.

Richie Grice cuts a commanding but ultimately loveable figure as he sits before you. His love of comedy radiates outwards from the very time you meet him and he certainly knows his stuff and his ready laugh is easy and a joyous thing to hear whenever you mention something that tickles his own funny bone.

With rehearsals well under way for Bon Voyage at The Epstein Theatre, which stars the superb Lindzi Germain and the legendary Mickey Finn, I was able to catch ten precious minutes with the man who co-wrote the play with Paul Nicholson at The Garden at FACT and ask him his thoughts on the play and on comedy.

Fifty-One Shades Of Maggie To Make Its Way To The Epstein Theatre.

Following sell-out shows in Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin earlier this year, the smash hit comedy, Fifty-One Shades of Maggie, is set to become one of the funniest shows to hit U.K. stages in years as it embarks on the first 27-venue tour of the country, with former Emmerdale star Adele Silva taking the lead role and comes to Liverpool this September.

Initially written by Leesa Harker as a Facebook-based spoof blog of the best-selling Fifty Shades of Grey, the blog was so well received in its own right that it went viral, reaching tens of thousands of followers in a matter of days, and has been specifically adapted for the stage. The play first hit the Belfast stage in January 2013, selling out all 9,000 seats, and went on to perform extended runs in Dublin and Glasgow.

The Sunshine Boys, Theatre Review. Epstein Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Andrew Schofield, Alan Stocks, Helen Carter, Michael Fletcher, Stephen Fletcher, Liam Tobin.

Sometimes there are no words that can ever justify the praise or warmth you wish to impart to people or future audiences on how good a play or performance is.  You just have to watch the crowd’s reaction and listening to the cheering of those that had made their way Epstein Theatre to watch The Sunshine Boys too know that the production is just simply amazing.
