Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Kim Woodburn, Derek Acorah, Lewis Pryor, Claire Simmo, Michael Chapman, Mia Molloy, Alex Patmore, Daryl Holden.

The evil and wicked step-mother is stalking the land, seven forest-dwelling miners are set to become heroes and guardians of a princess in danger and the beautiful fairy will always have some power to make the day go with a band,  a bite of an apple will hold the key to the throne and always a kiss will seal the fate of all, it is so decreed by the magic mirror and nobody should dare question the fair Snow White as she takes her place as the fairest in the land.

Jack And The Beanstalk, Theatre Review. Epstein Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Ray Quinn, Lindzi Germain, Claire Simmo, Lewis Pryor, Michael Chapman, Mia Molloy.

The Pantomime is an institution, one of first experiences for many to whom the theatre is a haven to be preserved, of silliness and beauty, of hearing that loud series of giggles and laughter from younger audiences before they become self-conscious and trapped within the confines of fitting behaviour. It is when you see this in action during the Pantomime that it reminds you of what brought you into this fascinating and beguiling world in the first place, magic, the wonderful world of the delightful thrill, where anything is possible and the overall enchantment that the young mind grasps onto with relish.

Humanity needs more people who see the world through the same eyes, the same clarity of vision that author and playwright J.M. Barrie did when he created the characters of Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Wendy Darling and Tinker Bell, perhaps then it might not be so centred on greed and destruction. Instead, as is always hoped for at this time of year, the pull of being decent, of holding out a hand to a fallen lost boy or fellow darling, is the right way to be. It is an ideal, of being brave in a world of adults, cutlasses and poison, of listening to your heart, of believing and one that Peter Pan flies high.

Rain has a habit of getting in the way of the most superb of days, like a badly bruised apple can spoil a bag of tempting fruit; it can annoy and ruin any specific moment in which fun and reflection is the order of the day, yet it couldn’t destroy the party that was Liverpool Pride 2014.
