L.S. Media Rating * * * *

Love and jealousy, as intrinsically entwined together as almost any other human emotion; especially when the two lovers have a difference in age and one has a grown up son from a previous relationship and the other one has younger friends. All of this can lead to bitterness if not handled with sensitivity and care, on both parts.

Such is the premise of Chris Christou’s play for the Queertet Festival of plays at The Lantern Theatre, Linda and Sue.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Ross McCall, Holly Wilson-Guy, Matt Austin, Tom Hosker.

After wowing critics and audiences alike in September with her one-woman spectacular Wolf Red, Elinor Randle has turned her hand once more back to directing and in the biting satirical play Cold Call; she again strikes the perfect balance between brilliant absurd humour and worrying 21st century behaviour.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast:  Neil Caple, Simon Coates, Leander Deeny, Daniel Goode, Alison Pargeter, George Potts, Zara Tempest-Walters, Colin Tierney, Harvey Virdi.

For the third time, Moliere, Roger McGough and Gemma Bodinetz combined to make an evening at the Playhouse Theatre so anticipated and enjoyable. Heavily surrounded by a cast that adds that final burst of brilliance that makes The Misanthrope a play a distinguished and tremendous addition to the canon of Moliere plays to now have been performed on the stage in the city.

Tis the season to be jolly…even in dreams, for sleep maybe be restful, but it is to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Panto that the pulse is raised, the glitterball comes out of hiding and the lights sparkle, all of which only can mean that music, theatre and the uplifting seasonal fantasy is back; that there is no time to nap, for Sleeping Beauty will keep you feeling alive and ready to party.
