Angel Delight, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Originally published by L.S. Media . April 30th 2012.

L.S. Media Rating ****

Cast: Eithne Browne, Chris Darwin, Francis Tucker, and the voices of Kathy Upfold and Roger Phillips.

What do you if your husband or wife starts acting strangely, their whole demeanour and actions change so much so that you hardly recognise him. Gone is the dependable boring man you have known since before the children came along and in comes someone that all of a sudden smartens himself up and is being chased by his secretary. In this premise lays the beauty of Angel Delight.

Brick Up, The Wirral Strikes Back. Empire Theatre, Liverpool. Theatre Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. September 8th 2010.

Cast: Warren Donnelly, Dean Sullivan, Bernadette Foley, Eithne Browne, Kate McEvoy, Kris Mochrie, Marc Hughes, Emma Nowell.

Sequels can either be hit or miss, whether on stage or at the cinema the hard task of the writer is to make the next part of the story just as enjoyable as the previous one. Sometimes this doesn’t work; there is too much affection for the characters in the first story that any derivation from the plot is never forgiven.

Mam! I’m ‘Ere!, Theatre Review. The Dome, Liverpool.

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.

There is nothing like welcoming an old friend back into your life and in the modern stand out poetry of Roger McGough and the timeless humour of Moliere, the Liverpool Playhouse opened its new season to a play that was first viewed by local audiences as the city celebrated being the Capital of Culture in 2008.

Patterdale. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Oscar Tyndall, Gillian Kearney, Eithne Browne, Neil Caple, Liam Tobin, Paul Duckworth, Keddy Sutton, Nancie Thomas, Harley Harrison, Sonny Lackey.

The command of storytelling is one of humanities finest achievements, the insisting of developing the imagination enough to unleash a truth the individual, the ability to change someone’s mind with a single word, or to frame a narrative that has the ability to make someone get in touch with their emotions, to feel compassion where once stood silence and perhaps apathy.

Merry Christmas, Carol. Theatre Review. Royal Court Studio, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound And Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Eithne Browne, Jessica Dives, Rachel Hinton, Molly Madigan, Paislie Reid, Angela Simms.

Faith, hope and charity, depending on your point of view, and what your station is in life, seems to be out of favour, nestled somewhere between ignorance and damnation, lies and misdeeds.

Yet for some these qualities exist under the strong umbrella held aloft like a sword up by compassion and sometimes we need to remind others that they too can benefit from this intervention of the soul, that not everything in life should or needs to be about money, that we should be thinking of the effect the world is having on our family, to listen without needing to reply but to understand; faith, hope, charity, compassion and love, these are the gifts we should be looking to bestow.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Jake Abraham, Roy Brandon, Eithne Browne, Danny Burns, Suzanne Collins, Paul Duckworth, Andrew Schofield, Francis Tucker.

Band: Howard Gray, Danny Burns, Adam Keast, Francis Tucker.

Revenge is a pudding best served piping hot and with all the flavour, texture and fruit mixed together to be delivered with precision, timing and a smile so wide that once served it is the talk of the town, and with the score settled and the laughter bellowing all around.

Yellow Breck Road, Theatre Review. Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Jake Abrahams, Gemma Brodrick, Eithne Browne, Paul Duckworth, Lynn Francis, Jamie Greer.

Once in a lullaby…such dreams are made of, the chance to see how life brought you to this point, and one that comes out of shock and the game played out by adversity. All you have to remember is that to follow the Yellow Breck Road might mot lead you to the wizard, but it will lead you to a place in which the tragedy and humour of life go hand in hand, where joy is welcome, where the despicable finally get their just deserts.

The hills of Wales are alive with the sound of music, not just any old tune, its heartbeat is quickened by the tunes that made the era of Disco one of infatuation for all who danced to its rhythm and overwhelming, upbeat musical personality. Like Disco though, Dave’s caravan site and Boogie Wonderland have become down at heel, the good times have come, partied, and left without even a last groove goodbye, times are hard, Disco only lives on in the memory of some; however, there is always time for one last turn on the dance floor, one last round of reminisces and disco kisses under the glitter ball.
