Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Cast: Robert Bowman.
In the end it doesn’t take much to make a person go mad and it’s not always the God’s who have the ability to do so before they destroy them, circumstances and love both can play their own distinctive part in the tragedy to come.

Cast: Sam Hind, Edward Jones, Michael Clarke, Josie Dale Jones, Ali Dunk, Lucy Menghan, James Gould.
Every so often life presents itself to the everyday person without is guise of normality and shows itself for the most perfect manifestation of the absurd you could ever hope to meet. It is that rare honour of seeing something so magnificent, so uncontrollably bizarre that you cannot help but love every single second of its company. Even in dreams the absurd holds court and sway over the minds of the deserving and for The Dream Sequentialists, absurd is second nature and it is a state of being that will have any audience member beaming as they leave the theatre.

It is in the words and actions of someone’s story into which details and connections are made, you might not hear the whole story without both and for that lives can become lost and destructive behaviour can go unchecked.
History has always been made from the words from the top of society down, it is only in the last seventy years that has been allowed to be challenged and only in recent times that there is rightly more to be gained by listening to Herstory, listening more than ever to the words and thoughts of the women in society, really taking stock of the situation to which some women find themselves in and the trials they go through.

There are no monsters under the bed, there are none hiding in the closets, but as the University College London Union Runaground Theatre Company are wonderfully adept at showing, Monsters are still very real and are able to take root in the very heart of all if allowed.

Cast: David Holmes, Kieran O’Rouke.
Your enemies are honest, for you know they hate you and wish to destroy your life bit by bit, your friends on the other hand can be a little more circumspect, a little less reliable for in them can live the seething, beating heart of jealousy and in one swift movement, a single action of a non returned hand can reveal their action against you.
It distresses me just how the two of you
want to destroy the other’s image,
when the real enemy of the times
is the gods that founded your existence
and breathed fire in to your tiny souls.
You explode with ferocity,
like a thousand Hiroshimas
captured in the dazzling light of
single black and white photograph
on the day that the Sun became insignificant.
Yet you have not the wit or the temperament
of grace in which to walk away
from the fallout and put distance

It’s more than likely anyone coming across the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre whilst at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival will have never had so much fun in their entire lives with something that covers up the least attractive aspect of a person’s appearance, their feet. For socks, whether dirty, clean, innocuous, outlandish or all together mystifying, socks are great things, especially when they come in pairs and deliver unbelievably great satire and beautifully delivered cringe worthy puns.

There are comedians who make you laugh, those wise masters who can make you think and those coveted people who you can find empathy and warmth within. To find someone who can control all three mystifying forces of human nature is to behold someone you can believe in and share life and a shred of existence with.
It’s not that I’m mad,
surely that is beyond
the easiest of conversations,
for you have to be mad
to work with words here.
It’s more in the way that I cannot
find the Hamster
that flew off the wheel long ago
so that I can at least bury
its final remains and give the poor creature
the final shred of honour
befitting the way it held its own
in the company
of the down but not outs
and the sensationally fallen.
That poor Hamster

In every song there should be so much passion placed that it must ooze and clamber out of the stereo and find its way Blob like into the ears of the listener to become enthused with the lyrical coolness and the itching to understand the depth in which some musical instruments can take human emotion to.
Life without passion is just the same as finding oneself watching six hours of television a day and guzzling a bottle of wine without truly tasting it every night, the lustre, the shine of some freedoms are never worth it and enthusiasm for the world soon starts to wane into nothing.
