The Princess And The Pea, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Duncan Cameron, Graham Hicks, Josie Cerise, Keddy Sutton.

The humble pea is never truly given the chance to shine, is never truly the heroic type and is only ever seen to grace a good shepherd’s pie or instead be mushed down, taken to task as it adorns a plate of fish and chips. Yet once upon a time a Princess had much to owe the pea and its legendary status was confirmed. It is a status that enhanced as Liverpool’s Unity Theatre offers this Christmas the age old story of The Princess and the Pea and it is a tale to delight and capture the very best of imagination for all who make their way to the theatre on Hope Place this December.

Next!, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Written and performed by Graham Hicks.

Just over a year ago Graham Hicks walked on stage at the Unity Theatre and gave an inspired, mesmerizing and enthralling performance of his play Next!

Since that time, the play has been re-worked slightly, a few changes added and improved upon, if that were at all possible and the end result is that Graham Hicks deserves to be considered a hero of local theatre. It is not everyone that can carry of an entire performance by themselves. Not every entertainer or actor is capable is just using the littered insanity that makes up a life in order to make the audience feel a kinship, a special type of longing to befriend someone in dire need of comradeship or even just to pick up the phone as they await that one call that could change their life.
