Some moments in life are so wonderfully off kilter and off the cuff that you cannot help but smile at the situation they surround. Tea in hand at the Everyman Theatre, tape recorder ready and a barrage of thoughts on how to talk to a man who has made the art of the interview a joy to behold in modern times, Peter Gabriel’s seminal solo song Games Without Frontiers comes over the building’s P.A. Knowing that Mike Neary is a huge fan of early Genesis and knowing that he is listening to the intelligently written lyrics with the same appreciation and thought that he prides himself upon when listening to any of the major interviews he conducts for Gemma Aldcroft’s and Karen Podesta’s hugely well produced Little Atoms company in St. George’s Hall, puts me at ease. After all it can be a daunting task interviewing somebody who in a media driven society stands aloft and above 99 percent of interviewers concerned.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
It is quite something to see a master story teller, a Queen of Crime, on stage being interviewed by arguably a man whose passion for Liverpool, his appetite for culture and ability to hold an audience’s attention singles him out as one of the finest in the city.
Liverpool’s Little Atoms Announce All Female Music Line Up For Their In Conversation With Lynda La Plante.
Little Atom Productions are delighted to announce the first all-female music line-up in their hugely successful Liverpool ‘In Conversation’ series, whose next interview subject is legendary Liverpool crime writer Lynda La Plante at the stunning Concert Room at St George’s Hall on Tuesday 10th September.
The events feature five separate musical acts, each of which performs one of the famous interviewee’s five favourite pieces of music. The series so far has seen acts as varied as a classical guitar rendition of Are Friends Electric? by Tubeway Army and a 25-strong Baroque choir from Waterloo singing music by Henry Purcell but this will be the first time all five songs are performed entirely by women.

Cast: Hayley Atwell, Richard Coyle, Joel Beckett, Con O’Neill, Amanda Drew, Julian Lewis Jones, Ruth McCabe, Stephen McDade, Ray Pantthaki, Amaranthe Partridge.
Everywhere you go these days Hayley Atwell appears to be. The reason of course that she has been in some very high profile television programmes, films and even audio plays in the last couple of years and that all stems down from the fact that in every part she plays she is so believable and can hold the camera’s and audience’s attention unlike almost any other female actor working today, only Maggie Smith perhaps can have the same plaudits laid at her feet.
