Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Hamish Adams-Cairns, Lisa Marie Berg, Roxanne Browne, Alice Devlin, Harry Kearton, Paul Tonkin.

You were never alone with a Strand cigarette, smoking Marlborough suggested that you were ready for adventure, Camel that there was a touch of the old colonial lurking in you and as for Players or Capstone full strength, that touch of a small cough that came along with the birds singing the dawn chorus was arguably only ever really to be expected. Smoking is bad for you of that there can be no doubt but millions round the world still enjoy the taste of the habit and the sight of the grey Ash that collects in any make do ashtray.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Jordan Turk, Francesca Dolan.

The initial joy of the Edinburgh Fringe is never truly lost, it always manages to find a way to sparkle anew each time a visitor finds themselves on the path to potential desire and the world of fluttering, butterfly-like dreams. The Edinburgh Fringe is such that it creates writing heroes from out of nowhere and the first-timer, the one who takes a chance on a play that they have undertaken and is rewarded by gentleness and spirit, is the one to be applauded with stout resolution.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Marauder’s Theatre Company’s Danny Partington.

Many a student from Liverpool has found their way up to Edinburgh for the Fringe at one point or another, whether to support a show, to support a friend or just natural curiosity at just how expansive and overwhelmingly complex the entire planning of going from one show to another on a daily basis can be.

The Fringe though is arguably the one event in the year which is truly seen as remarkable and it is no small wonder that any student involved in drama or who has a keen interest in comedy should make their way to Scotland’s capital in search of broadening their horizons.

Liverpool Sound and Vision: The Saturday Supplement, An Interview With Rising Comedian Alastair Clark.

Alastair Clark sits back in the seats on the first floor of FACT on Wood Street and grins. The man who hails from Grantham in Lincolnshire is intensely likeable as a person, as many of University colleagues have threatened to attest to, he is one of the many University graduates that find themselves at the bitter end of the current recession/depression, depending on who you talk to, saddled with debt for wanting to learn and trying to make a difference.
