Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

Cast: Harriet Wilson, David Ward, James Dorman.

When the inevitable breakdown in society comes, would you be searching for the best place to hide and wait it out till the authorities find a way to exert control back or would you spend it in a locked room talking about the breakdown in your personal life and that of those you love. It is a question many will hope to never answer but as Thomas Oléron Evans explores in his play to stage production An Everyday Apocalypse, sometimes the end of the world is a lot closer to home than we ever imagine.

Gearstick, Theatre Review. Queertet 2014. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 81/2/10

Cast: Harriet Wilson, Sophie Smith.

There are just times when you have to congratulate a writer for taking such a logical step that you cannot help but wonder why nobody really has gone there before.

Stuart Crowther’s Gearstick looks at life in which women have been banned, to show femininity a crime, to be born female either sees you destroyed or having a state enforced gender reassignment. Gearstick takes the idea that that too be born a woman is not just seen as second class but an evil in which to be eradicated  and in which if you are a woman who has somehow got passed all the checks can see you hiding your true nature, especially hard when you are a Lesbian.
