The Royal Court Theatre Announces Cast For 2014 Christmas Show.

The final names have been added to the cast for The Royal Court Christmas show and they are raring to go!

Scouse Of The Antarctic is the latest in a series of Liverpool comedies from Fred Lawless who has had great success with the likes of Scouse Pacific, Little Scouse On The Prairie and last year’s hit The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Fazakerley.

Just when everyone thought the ‘Cold War’ was over, a Russian and U.S. submarine race to the North Pole to claim the recently discovered mineral rights.  The last thing they expect to find when they get there is a Scouser with a bobble hat on and a bloody student banging on about global warming.

The Hitchhikers Guide To Fazakerley, Theatre Review. Royal Court, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Lynne Francis, Lindzi Germain, Jack Rigby, Angela Simms, Michael Starke, Charlotte Dalton, Stephanie Miles, Emily Trebicki.

Every science fiction story needs a hero, a man willing to put his life on the line in order to save the world and by doing so redeem his soul, a man who handles himself with courage, moral fortitude, bravery in the face of oppression…and a Tardis inspired wheelie Bin.  It’s the festive season but not as we know it.
