A one-night-only Halloween event at St George’s Hall, if you dare…
IF you’re on the lookout for some suitably fiendish Halloween entertainment, this one-night-only immersive experience promises jump scares and historic true crime in suitably atmospheric city centre surrounds. The Trial of Georgina Hallows is described as “ a spine-chilling journey through the h...

Making the late Vivian Stanshall’s final albums a reality 30 years on - and his Merseyside links:
TWO ‘new’ albums from Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band star Vivian Stanshall have finally been released, nearly 30 years after his death - and the task of piecing together the work he left behind has been a Merseyside affair.
Alice in Wonderland
is a pitch-perfect family show full of creative modern twists, high energy and heart:
AN imaginative twist on the classic tale hits a sweet spot for younger theatregoers in this all-new adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. We first see Alice ( Paisley Reid ) in her 90s bedroom tinkering with an old stereo - brand name Wonderland. Falling into a tape deck rather than a rabbit hole, h
New review! SealSkin from Tmesis Theatre at Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse theatres kicks off this year’s PhysicalFest:
THE flagship show of this year’s PhysicalFest is inspired by the myth of the selkies, and tells a moving and considered tale of community and belonging. Selkies are mythological creatures, seals who shed their skins in light of the full moon to take on human form. An element of the legend I was l
A little something you can do to support the Epstein Theatre - this petition is not far from its target now
Save Epstein Theatre - Liverpool City Council to continue financial support
When the pandemic put the breaks on live performance, the creatives behind this solo twist on Hedda Gabler ended up creating a film instead. A screening and Q&A at Edge Hill Arts Centre took place nearly three years after the show was due to premiere there.
Cuttothechase Productions
IT’S hard to believe now that it’s been three years since this show, Hedda (After Ibsen), was meant to premiere at this venue, with star David Hoyle performing in the flesh. Back in 2020 the evocative promo images already had me hooked, the concept and creatives involved promising an intriguing,...
“A play fizzing with fresh ideas and crammed with gags, saucy innuendo and good natured fun” - Imaginarium’s Strange Tale Shakespeare North Playhouse, reviewed:
THE consistently brilliant Imaginarium make themselves right at home in their new local; it might as well have been made just for them. For the uninitiated, Imaginarium is a theatre and community arts organisation that has been proudly based in Prescot for decades. Now deservedly an associate com
REVIEW: Deep Blue, Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse theatres
A HOME-GROWN production that makes the ordinary extraordinary, Paperwork Theatre’s Deep Blue is a tender and touching look at loneliness, isolation and the need for human connection.

An absolute joy - feel good theatre at its best at Liverpool's Royal Court
IT’S been much, much longer than I thought since I sat down to watch a main stage performance at the Royal Court - and ten years since I caught the first outing of Mam I’m ‘Ere . Days later, I’m still smiling about this brilliant revival. And if the welcome back was warm, the cast was positi...
DISCO musical Mam I’m ‘Ere returns to the Liverpool stage this week with a lot to celebrate. Cancelled twice during the theatre closures of the pandemic, this week’s opening at the Royal Court will be the fourth revival of the show. And it is also, as it happens, marking a milestone of ten yea...
It was great to finally catch up with Nana Funk at this week!
IF life is a cabaret, Nana Funk has more than a few tales to tell. Performer Angie Waller’s alter-ego has worked up this act over the last few years to a boast solid hour (or more) of comedy and song, with more to it than meets the eye. This week Nana brought her show to the Little LTF, the precur...
A nostalgia hit of a production that is everything you want in a panto, Jack & the Beanstalk is on at Epstein Theatre until April 24 🌱🐄👸🧚♀️🎼🎭
EASTER pantos have become a bit of a fixture on the commercial theatre calendar, and it’s easy to see the appeal. Regal Entertainment - now also part-operators of the Epstein - specialise in the genre, which fits right at home in the Edwardian surrounds of the venue. With a big dollop of vaudevill...
Back in an actual theatre for the first time since last spring! And Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at Liverpool Empire was the perfect choice
EVERYBODY’S Talking About Jamie bursts onto the stage in an effervescent whirlwind of unabashed vibrancy and fun. It’s the first Liverpool run for this production after several pandemic postponements, and my first time back in a full theatre since March last year. I’ll have to admit it - momen...
