Young Frankenstein

From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation, The Producers, comes this monster musical comedy. The comedy genius, Mel Brooks, adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation – Young Frankenstein!

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

Every bit as relevant to audience members who will remember the original as it will be to newcomers, Young Frankenstein has all the of panache of the screen sensation with a little extra theatrical flair added. It will surely be the perfect opportunity for a production company to showcase an array of talents. With such memorable tunes as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” by Irving Berlin Young Frankenstein is scientifically proven, monstrously good entertainment.

Directed and choreographed by international award-winning director and choreographer Nick Winston, known for Bonnie & Clyde (Garrick Theatre, WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical), MAME and Burlesque.

Presented by Hope Mill Theatre for their 10th Anniversary.

Romeo and Juliet

Following last summer’s sold-out ‘Macbeth’, this hard-hitting Romeo & Juliet adaptation from multi award winning ‘A Place For Us Theatre’ delivers a story which resonates across the ages.

Set in the striking Performance Garden at Shakespeare North, passion, violence and urgency explode in a bold high energy production, capturing the intensity of youthful passion and the devastating consequences of division.

With dynamic staging, visceral performances, heart stopping drama and immersive staging this performance creates an unforgettable charged theatrical experience. Experience this classic, accessible retelling of infatuation, conflict and fate…immediate and strikingly relevant…all under the open sky.

‘…The torment is real, the hideous crimes authentic, the anguish and grief tangible – each scene, each actor, each movement, played with passion and credence. It was superb… (***** Northwest End Review – Macbeth 2024)

Chloe Foy

We are thrilled to welcome Chloe Foy to the FY Garden on Sunday 27th July for a gorgeous hazy afternoon of folk under the Birkenhead sun, featuring Rachael Jean Harris, Grace Elizabeth Harvey, Maddie Lara + Catherine Bullock.

With her strikingly beautiful voice and emotionally direct songwriting, Chloe Foy has a penchant for finding magic in the spaces between light and dark. Growing up in the quiet of the English countryside, it was through music that she first learned how to express the nuance of emotion. Her songs are a reflection of that stillness, woven with threads of vulnerability and longing. Her lyrics speak to the complexity of the human experience — love, loss, and the subtle daily battles we all fight. With a voice that’s as delicate as it is powerful, she creates music that speaks to the heart.
