Anarchy in the hands of the theatrical and the artistic arguably achieves more than a demonstration and the gnashing of teeth; the power of laughter bringing the pompous to their knees, the smallest prick of hilarity bursting the bubble of the forever vain and the insincere pretentious. Anarchy rules, and its rules are simple, make them laugh and you will have a show that is beautiful to the core and one with a polished sheen attached to it.

Billy Riley is the hero you may not have heard of but because of his ingenuity, his fortitude and love of a fish and chip supper, there is forever a part of the South Pacific that is Scouse, where bananas are abundant, where a certain newspaper gets used for its rightful position as a cleansing aid, and where the descendants of the ship-wrecked, press-ganged mariner burst into song as a right; some enchanted evenings are always worth remembering, especially in Scouse Pacific.
