Genius is not a word to bandy round like a bag of sweets that has been pinched from the local shop and sucked to death by a gang of young tearaways determined to have something on their resume to take onto adult hood, the moment of defiance was born, when being the daring mastermind behind such a great plan was the moment the intellect was sealed.

Venus Rising, Theatre Review. Hope Street Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: James Sutton, Laura Connolly, Abigail McKenzie, Thomas Galashan.

Writer James Wilkinson (James Sutton) is tapping out and reading aloud his latest novel in a cluttered, claustrophobic study, where the shelves creak under the weight of literary masterpieces. Around him, three barely dressed figures act out his plot – and it’s not one for the faint-hearted.

You see, James isn’t crafting a Grapes of Wrath reboot on his wine-stained laptop, he’s churning out “mummy porn” (the fifth instalment of his “Venus” series, which makes Fifty Shades read like Tolstoy) and it’s already earned him a cool £4 million pounds.
