Liverpool Fantasy

Liverpool Fantasy Play The Beatles split up because of a dispute over their second single. ("Til There Was You" was chosen instead of "Please Please Me.") John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr returned to Liverpool while Paul McCartney launched a solo career and gained international fame as the crooner Paul Montana. Montana has resided in Las Vegas for the last 25 years. While on a tour of Britain in 1987, he decides to bury the hatchet and visit his former colleagues. Without the Beatles as catalysts there were far less social and political changes in the 60's. The Play deals with the question of parallel lives of displaced destinies. In this Play we deal with the consequences of one slip from the path of their principles. It could quite easily have happened and sent them all on parallel lives. That it didn’t is a tribute to this remarkable group of Individuals. But suppose it did…then LIVERPOOL FANTASY is one distinct possibility. Liverpool Fantasy first performed at the Charas Theatro La Terraza, New York City by Theatreworkers in May/June 1986 and subsequently at the Unity Theatre, Liverpool by A&P Productions in 2003: Liverpool Echo Review of Liverpool Fantasy 2003: I always thought that everything that could be written, staged or filmed about the Beatles had been done. But, urged on by friends to go and see Liverpool Fantasy at the Unity Theatre Liverpool, I discovered I was wrong.

Boxing & Clowns: Two shows one evening

TWO SHOW'S ONE EVENING! BOXING Boxing is a hilarious and moving show about community, hope and small joys. The story follows two characters: Father Garvey, a deeply miserable priest who as almost lost faith in the people he's meant to help and Michael, a troubled young man whose innocence and boundless energy could test anyone's patience. After Garvey takes revenge on his vile neighbour Beryl, it's up to Michael to get them both out of the sticky situation they find themselves in. What unfolds is a darkly comic and heartfelt exploration of connection, redemption and unexpected friendship. Originally staged as part of the Creative Corner Festival to a fantastic response, Boxing is back on the Epstein stage to light it up again. Karaoke is encouraged... CLOWNS Clowns is a hilarious new dark comedy for fans of Martin McDonagh, The Coen Brothers and for all those who wondered: what would a siege at a circus look like? Mittens is an old clown, not particularly funny, and particularly fed up. So fed up, in fact, that he decides to commit an armed burglary. It doesn't go well, and he ends up fleeing back to his travelling circus with the goods. Unlucky for him, two other clowns a young couple named Jessie and Bill are in the tent when he arrives. Unlucky for them, Mittens decides to tie them up. Then, the police arrive. Then, things get worse and worse. A new comedy full of twists and turns, clowns and cops though sometimes it's hard to tell who's who.

Tamsin Elliott & Tarek Elazhary

Liverpool Arab Arts Festival presents the UK premiere performance of the hugely anticipated second album from Tamsin Elliott (UK) and Tarek Elazhary (Egypt). Tamsin and Tarek explore the intriguing parallels and idiosyncrasies of Egyptian Maqam and English folk traditions in a captivating fusion of songs, tunes and textures, finding commonality, fostering cross-cultural connection and helping heal the scars of a colonial past through meaningful and conscious collaboration. For this Liverpool premiere, the music will be performed by a septet – with Tamsin and Tarek joined by Rowan Elliott to form their trio, and accompanied by the Ensemble of St Lukes – founded 34 years ago by members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Tamsin Elliott is a Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and filmmaker working primarily with English folk traditions, equally adept on fiddle, lever harp, and microtonal accordion. Alongside solo projects, she leads the genre-crossing ensembles Solana and Hedera, and collaborates widely across folk and experimental music contexts. Tarek Elazhary is an Egyptian composer, educator and oud player whose work centres on Arab musical traditions. Through performance, teaching and composition, he explores how these traditions can be sustained and developed in contemporary settings. He is the founder and leader of the ensemble Dokkan.
