Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Rachel Rae, Eithne Browne, Andrew Schofield, Helen Carter, Alan Stocks, Stephen Fletcher, Keddy Sutton, Paul Duckworth, Catherine Morris, Lauren Southwick.

The Dome may not be the most obvious venue for a theatrical production to make its maiden debut in the city; however the acting company that gave their all for the sensational Mam! I’m ‘Ere! more than made the grand old lady very proud and the audience dance and sing with vigour and with a lot of joy.

Lennon, Theatre Review. The Royal Court.

Cast: Stephen Fletcher, Chris Grahamson, Daniel Healy, Adam Keast, Maria Lawson, Paul Mannion, Jonathon Markwood, Andrew Schofield, Nicky Swift.

In 1981 the Everyman Theatre staged a show that at the time could have been considered evocative and pouring oil onto a very raw and passionate flames. The timing couldn’t have been worse, coming soon after the worst riots to hit parts of the city in generations and so soon after Liverpool lost one of its famous, iconic and much loved sons. Looking back with the benefit of thirty years since the death of John Lennon, the musical has become more of a celebration of the man’s life, rather than the wake it would have been in 1981.

Originally published by L.S. Media. December 4th 2010.

Cast: Paul Duckworth, Stephen FRletcher, Lindzi Germain, Rachel Rae, Andrew Schofield, Alan Stocks, Zoei Cozens, Niamh Fitzgerald, Kay Staunton, Sarah Walker.

Gambling, swearing nuns, a lost tribe of Scousers, a Catholic Father who is more uncouth than clean cloth and more bananas than you can shake a banana tree at are just some of the elements in this year’s Christmas stunning production by The Royal Court, the epic Scouse Pacific.

Brick up the Mersey Tunnels, Theatre Review. Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool.

Originally published by L.S. Media. June 18th 2011.

Cast: Roy Brandon, Eithne Browne, Carl Chase, Suzanne Collins, Davy Edge, Adam Keast, Andrew Schofield, Francis Tucker.

For the fifth time in as many years Brick up the Mersey Tunnels arrived at the Royal Court Theatre to a great fanfare and armed to the teeth with well loved gags and up to date topics that would make any other show seethe with jealousy.

Not for nothing has Brick Up…become a firm favourite with audiences throughout Liverpool and beyond with fans of the hit show coming back time and time again to witness the range of comedic talent that runs through the heart and soul of the show.

Little Scouse On The Prairie. Theatre Review. Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool.

L.S. Media Rating *****

Cast: Paul Duckworth, Stephen Fletcher,  Lindzi Germain,  Rachel Rae, Andrew Schofield, Alan Stocks, Zeoi Cozens, Niamh  Fitzgerald, Kay Stanton, Sarah Walker.

Every great story deserves a sequel. Every drunk Irish Catholic Father who is best friends with four former gambling mad nuns and who escaped the island of Secosu merits the chance to have his story continued.

A Life in the Theatre. Theatre Review. The Actors’ Studio, Liverpool.

Originally published by L.S. Media. March 25th 2012.

L.S. Media Rating ****

Cast: Andrew Schofield, Stephen Fletcher.

There is a realm of safety within the theatre called the dressing room where in theory an actor can relax, prepare themselves for the night ahead and be their true selves and away from the audience glare and the lights which can show every emotion.
