"Overspill"

By Ali Taylor

“Glass bursts in stars, a shower of light, dust and ash, dust and ash, dust blooms, in a cloud of dust and glass." 

In town every Friday night, same time and place, Potts, Baron and Finch get ready for their weekly dose of booze, birds and burgers. But their night out takes a terrifying twist when an explosion rocks the town centre, and a suspicious population points the finger.Ali Taylor's poetic, high-energy play was one of the winners of Metamorphosis 08, the playwriting competition organised by the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, and the Ambassador Theatre Group.

This is our first show at The Unity Theatre in Liverpool.

 Overspill is on Friday 12^th and Saturday 13^th April 7.30 at The Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Tickets available from the Unity website at £10, £5  (www.unitytheatreliverpool.co.uk).

 "The Canterbury Tales"

By Geoffrey Chaucer

This is an outrageous re-telling of Chaucer’s classic "The Canterbury Tales". If you’ve never seen this on stage it’s time to grab a bottle of wine and some friends and travel with our improvisational impresarios to Canterbury. On their way they lay bets on who can tell the tallest (often dirtiest) tale!  If you think classic literature is all tights and posh accents – think again. Say no more, except “where can I get tickets?”

 "The Canterbury Tales" is on Thursday  14^th to Saturday 16^th March 7.30 at Calday Grange Grammar school.

Cabaret style, please bring your own alcohol.

Tickets £8 and £4.

"Welcome to Thebes"

By Moira Buffini

 “Welcome to Thebes” is a modern re-telling of the Greek play Antigone. Set in what could be the current situation in Libya, a country ravaged by the spoils of war is seeing its first democratically elected President inaugurated. They are bankrupt and still in shock and this fledgling Government needs the help of its wealthy neighbours to get back on track. With many familiar Greek characters and of course some interference from the Gods, we see the tension rising in this new land of hope and freedom!

The performances will be on Thur 22nd, Fri 23rd and Sat 24th March in Neston Civic Hall, beginning at 7.30pm.
