Theatre-Rites And 20 Stories High Present The World Premiere Of Big Up! At The Unity Theatre This February.

Liverpool’s 20 Stories High reunites with acclaimed children’s theatre company Theatre-Rites following the success of their hip-hop puppetry show for young people The Broke ‘N’ Beat Collective (which premiered at Unity Theatre in 2016). Their brand-new show together Big Up! is for 3 to 6 year olds to share with everyone that looks after them, combining hip-hop, puppetry and live music.

No matter whether you are Big or Small, the world is full of rules. Sometimes we make our own rules, sometimes we don’t know the rules and sometimes we want to play by different rules. A Beatboxer, a Singer and a Puppeteer arrive on stage, but nothing is ready for them. No set, no instruments, no puppets. No rules. A world full of joy and chaos erupts, where objects come to life and everything is possible.

Luckiest Guy Alive’ John Cooper Clarke Brings New Tour To Warrington’s Parr Hall.

Poet, movie star, rock star, TV and radio presenter, comedian presenter, comedian, and social and cultural comedian; not many people can claim to be all of the above but Dr. John Cooper Clarke can.

He shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original people’s poet and since then his career has spanned cultures, audiences, art forms and continents.

JCC is as relevant and vibrant as ever, and his influence is just as visible in today’s pop culture.

Aside from his trademark look which continues to resonate with fashionistas young and old, and his poetry being included on the national curriculum syllabus, his effect on modern music is huge.
