Ever wondered what it’s like to be left with an overactive imagination, a hen night that takes all the delights of your sitting room and the worry of a mate who hasn’t had a date in years? Saving Grace by Dave Griffiths packs all of these elements into one of the shows that’s a part of the Shiny New Festival going on all this week at the Lantern Theatre, Liverpool.

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.

There are some things that you just cannot attach a rating onto because what you see before you is worth more than a few stars or an out of 10 score in the collective conscious of all that took part.
