Jim Alsbalstian’s Human Zoo, Comedy Review. 81 Renshaw Street, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Liam Hale, Sean Stokes.

Somewhere in the dim and distant past there was handed down with great pride, a diktat that suggested emerging talent should be given time to grow, the insistence that the performer would be given whatever they needed to bring their comedy to the foreground, even if it took a couple of years of honing and shaping the sketches or the big idea; it was perhaps a halcyon time when The Goons for example were to become the absolute Kings of all they surveyed.

Scene Change, Revue. Everyman Theatre, Liverpool.

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.

Play With Myself: The Trials And Tribulations Of Drama Practitioner Gregory Bike. Theatre Review. 81 Renshaw Street, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Liam Hale, Dominic Davies, Rio Matchett, David Paes, Sean Stokes.

The world according to Gregory Bike, a mantra for all the giants of theatre, a man to whom you should listen to with open ears and open minds…a man to whom the word theatre is the be all and end all of life’s pursuit of truth and experience…a man who exists completely as fantastic extension of Liam Hale’s superb imagination and for whom Play With Myself: The Trials and Tribulations of Drama Practitioner Gregory Bike will surely be rated as a must see at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

L’Étranger, Theatre Review. Everyman Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Luke Barton, Charlotte Wilson, George Doran, Liam Hale.

Two of life’s undoubted pleasures are seeing a piece of work for the first ever time on stage, played and directed with so much passion you could almost believe someone could be having an affair with the themes and words of Albert Camus and sending them flowers every weekend, and watching someone you first saw on stage many years ago, trusting your gut that their performance was magnificent, then catching them again and knowing that what you thought of their early promise was correct and they are now just sublime and outstanding. Two great pleasures in one play, L’Étranger, at the Everyman Theatre; life really is surrounded by strangers, clowns and shining brilliance.
