Elastic Bridge, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Originally published by L.S.Media. June 16th 2011.

Cast: Eddie Fortune, Rosie MacPherson, John James Tomlinson.

One of the final plays of the current season on offer by the Unity Theatre is the hard hitting and emotional drama, Elastic Bridge. Unusually for a play, as the audience took their seats to enjoy the show, one of the actors was already on stage pacing the small set in a scene of absolute desperation etched all over his face. This unique beginning drew the audience in straight from the start and provided a new take on how to stage a performance.

Liverpool Sound And Vision: An Interview Special With Kiefer Williams Of Grin Theatre.

As artistic Director at Grin Theatre, Kiefer Williams has an enormous responsibility in pushing the work of young writers onto the stage. Alongside Simon James, Kiefer is responsible for bringing the fantastic Queertet to the stage, a set of four plays that deal with LGBT issues in today’s modern world. The two men are certainly proud of their work and the experiences they bring to the city of Liverpool and the work they do is certainly valued as the city gears up in preparation for the Liverpool Pride 2013.

Cast: Helen Kerr, Paul Culshaw, Eddie Fortune, Dale Grant.

There are two sets of horror, the one that sets out to shock from the start, blood and guts everywhere, sometimes instruments of terror are involved and in the end it becomes a gore fest, certainly a jolt to the system but doesn’t leave much to the imagination. There is nowhere for the audience member to go to. The other type is explored by Grin Productions and Wes Williams’ dramatic, sometimes bestial, totally compulsive and mind wrenching production of Tongues.
