Glow Boys, Theatre Review. Queertet 2014. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Shaun Stanley, James Bray.

When Jack comes home carrying a Primark bag, Chris knows that Jack has got something on his mind; that their blossoming relationship, which has just gone through a civil partnership, may be in trouble. Is it another man, the problems of 21st Century living in which all are equal, all struggling along at the bottom due to the actions of Government and the way they have handled certain economic practises or quite simply that the need to express an artistic side, even if it means showing a bit of bottom as a male stripper, is enough for Jack to come home carrying home some exotic clothes.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Elaine Stewart, Ben Sherlock, Ann Edwards.

Writer: Jack Stanley.

Grin Theatre and new writing, it goes hand in hand with a newly temperate person finding they adore the taste of Ginger Beer, an England football team being lauded and dismissed in equal measure and the hope that at some point an unpopular Government will fall upon their collective swords.

There are many who knock the idea of the young band making their way slowly into the world of performance, insisting that they should be concentrating on being a valuable member of society by finding a “real” job. The same goes for aspiring playwrights, poets and performers, too easily knocked for having an idea or wanting to be creative.

The heat in Liverpool, even at ten in the morning, has begun to drain people and what feels like the longest heat-wave since 1976 takes on the atmosphere in the city and it feels strangely quiet around the area of St. Luke’s as crowds flock to river to get some sea breeze and seek some sort of shelter against the summer sun. One man though who forever seems in good spirits and who can turn an overcast, thundery day into a ray of sunshine is Eddie John Fortune.
