The scars of war never truly fade and that is arguably the truest sentiment when it comes to the devastation visited upon Liverpool and Bootle during the dark days of The Blitz. Any visitor to the city, any person who has lived in the two neighbouring towns, will still be overawed by the monuments to the dead and the long nights endured by the people during the campaign to bring the people to their knees.

Hey Girl, Show Us Your Tips. Theatre Review, St. Helens Theatre Royal.

 

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Mickey Finn, Clare Bowles, Charlie Griffiths, Lynne Fitzgerald.

As with many old, but undeniably great, habits and ways, the great British local pub, the bastion of native ways and hopes and drama, has for many years been on the road to serious decline. Cheap alternatives driven by greed and solitude have become the normal pursuit in some respects that the social constraints in which bound a community, a section of the communal population together has been driven headlong into a nearby abyss of soulless apathy.

If The Shoe Fits, Theatre Review. Epstein Theatre. Liverpool

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Charlie Griffiths, Jodie Nesbitt, Angela Simms, Donna Lesley Price, Richie Grice, Chris Crookall, Lesley Hughes, Trev Fleming, James William-Watts, Michael Swift.

To see how far an idea can go, to see it flourish and become part of a city’s conscious, you don’t have to go a long way from the centre of town to the Epstein Theatre to witness the power of a great play and the imagination to keep taking it one stage further. When the Unity Theatre staged Donna Lesley Price’s supremely funny play If The Shoe Fits, no one could surely have envisioned just how it would grow and take root. From the Unity to the Floral Pavilion on the other side of the Mersey and now to one of the heart-land theatres, If The Shoe Fits continues to blossom and be an outstanding piece of Liverpool theatre.

Donna Lesley Price and Richie Grice are out of breath after travelling for an interminable age from across the Wirral, through the congested and rammed tunnel system that goes underneath the Mersey and finally racing across town to get to The Unity. The last thing I want to do is make them talk about their play, If the Shoe Fits, as they have already been working hard doing interviews all day.
