The Epstein Theatre has already established itself as a theatre of repute in the last few weeks as it has hosted the superb play about Brian Epstein’s life to incredible audiences and stunning reactions from crowds. With a rare day off for the theatre with the festive period rapidly approaching, the stalls were filled for the launch of the Liverpool Arabic Arts Festival’s Funny Arabs introduced by Razanne Carmey.
