This Is My Family, Theatre Review. Playhouse Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Evelyn Hoskins, Bill Champion, Clare Burt, Terence Keeley, Marjorie Yates, Rachel Lumberg.

Everybody has a family somewhere, even if it is one of their own making. They are loved, loathed, loved and despised in equal measure, they are the insanity that makes us smile, they are the thread that makes us weep; a family is there to keep us grounded, whilst allowing us the freedom to believe we can fly. Somehow Tim Firth, the man with the Laughing Cavalier pen attached to his enormous soul, has created a play of great artistry and comic value that reflects all of this in This Is My Family.

Surely there is no better way to get some of the leading ladies of British theatre and television on one stage that by bringing the celebrated Calendar Girls to the Liverpool Empire.

Based on a real life story, Calendar Girls tells the tale of a group of Women’s Institute members attempt to create a piece of work that will raise much needed funds for a hospital sofa, the same hospital in which one of the member’s husbands had been treated for Leukaemia.
