Liverpool Sound And Vision: The Sunday Postscript, An Interview With Brian McCann.

 

Birkenhead playwright Brian McCann is a busy man. So busy in fact that I appreciate that I am fortunate to have time with him at the Leaf tea shop on Bold Street in which to chat to him about his play, Down Our Street, which is coming to the Royal Court Theatre in April. The story of Birkenhead and the Cammell Laird ship building company is intertwined with each other, with many generations of families being employed by the firm.

The play was well received when performed at the Unity Theatre and was one of the delights of the season when performed.
