History has a way of repeating itself, what goes round will no doubt come round again. It is the comfort in the despairing knowledge that for every action…the same mistakes will be played out, over and over again and the same fortitude shown in national absurdity relied upon. For those old enough to remember the period in which an inept leader of the country was finally shown the door and the nation stumbled upon the lost ideals of the Sexual Revolution, Stephen Sharkey’s Sex And The Three Day Week is an homage to the strife, internal conflict of repressed sexuality and people making the most of the black-outs.

Only the Everyman Theatre could celebrate turning 50 and its rebirth in the same year, in one of those rare and exciting oddities of timing that capture the imagination and make the theatrical taste buds quiver with anticipation on just how a theatre can ever top its marvellous re-entrance into the lives of everybody in Liverpool.
