The grand ladies of LipService have raided their Greatest Hits back catalogue to reprise Move Over Moriarty on Thursday 14th – Saturday 16th January at Unity Theatre.
When Death stalks the boards of the Strand Theatre, who better to call in to investigate than Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson …
The brilliant, violin-playing, French-knitting master sleuth, only hindered a little by his smaller sidekick, investigates the Garibaldi Biscuit Affair. In this murderous music hall melange, impenetrable as a London pea-souper, they come face to face with male impersonator Vesta Curry, Death-Defying Dan and his whelk-infested Tank of Terror, the Musical Motherless Twins and lots more alliteration – truly a three-pipe problem.
Multi-award winners Maggie Fox and Sue Ryding play an array of characters, moving effortlessly – well, almost – from frock to frock coat in their inimitable style. Move Over Moriarty has all the well-loved hallmarks of a LipService show. Gwenda Hughes directs, and the production features original music by Mark Vibrans.
Ticket prices for Move Over Moriarty are priced at £14 with concessions available at £12. Tickets for the performances are available from the Unity Theatre Box office, by telephone on 0151 709 4988 or by e-mail at www.unitytheatreliverpool.co.uk.
