Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Emma Fielding, John Nicholson, Javier Marzan, Jonathan Holmes.

There will always be the book, the classic pieces of literature that everybody has heard of and to whom as a single person people will believe they know what it is about down to hearsay and speculated knowledge; it won’t have been read but it will be understood by reputation alone. It may be understood for what it is known for but it won’t be comprehended or valued until it is actually read first hand and then it fits into place that what you know, is nothing like what you know.

Take a pinch of Frank Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life, mix it up with lashings of Hans Christian Anderson’s tale of The Little Match Girl and add the very best of humour from theatre company Peepolykus you end up with a compelling, sometimes heartstring pulling and totally absorbing production of No Wise Men.
