On The Banks Of The Royal Blue Mersey is a comical celebration of the history of the team its players and it’s unbelievable history.
Local writers Steve Bird (Sucker Punch & Chasing Rainbows) and Paul Daley (The Bitters & The Manopause) have created a comedy that charts the history of Everton from its first home in Anfield to the building of Goodison Park and all the iconic and memorable moments that will live long in every Everton fans memory.
It’s a tale you couldn’t make up, so Steve and Paul have…
Directed Lee Clotworthy (Out of The Woodwork) and a cast filled with Merseyside’s finest acting talent On The Banks Of The Royal Blue Mersey promises to be a laugh out loud celebration of Everton past present and future.
Back after their successful run of Abigail’s Party at The Hope Street Theatre last year and starring Steven Arnold who played Ashley Peacock in Coronation Street for 15-years, the award-winning Northern Comedy Theatre present this riotous farce that notched up a staggeringly successful 16-year run in the West End.
Peter and Frances could reasonably expect to look forward to a calm, happy start to their married life together. Owing to an unfortunate mistake, they find themselves inundated with adult material from the ‘Scandinavian Import Company’. Senior bank officials, Peter’s snobbish mother, and a prim, respectable bank cashier become inextricably entangled in the rumbustious events that follow as they try – but fail – to keep things under control.
SevenBlu3 are back with another stage preview, this time ‘Someone You Love’.
Set In Liverpool, the story mixes Scouse comedy with some hard hitting drama.

From the creator of the critically acclaimed theatrical drama based on the Hilsborough disaster titled ’97+’, Tom Cain presents his new, one act, crude comedy ‘A Man and His Circumstance’, in his hometown of Southport!
With seven larger than life characters multi-rolled by three actors, this comedy also examines important topics on men’s physical health, encouraging men to look out for the signs on their down belows, in an attempt to dispel the taboo subject on men’s genital health issues. Don’t worry there is no nudity in this show!
This play is recommended for ages 16+ and contains strong language, adult themes and crude humour that some viewers may find offensive.
Working with 15 Square charity, a support group who handle topics mentioned in the play will be in attendance for each performance with a specific support pamphlet for audiences to take away and know there is support out there for any males with health concerns.
Inspired by writer Allison Davies’s own diagnosis of autism, this heartfelt story is a celebration of the joy that comes when we live as we truly are. This show has been designed with the access needs of neurodiverse audiences in mind, with the choice to experience the sound using headphones.
Elsa’s story is an immersive journey of self-discovery. She doesn’t know why she’s never quite fit in. Perhaps it’s just the way she’s made? She’s quirky, kind, clever and funny, but school was always a nightmare, and romance was a mystery, until now… When Elsa meets Carmen the real journey begins: to find out who she is, and why there’s an octopus living inside her head.
An unmissable performance that allows us better understand the experiences of so many, so often un-portrayed.
Written and directed by Helen Jeffery, who is originally from the Wirral, this piece dives deep into the drinking culture of contemporary Britain as it asks the question: How do you navigate sobriety in a world that revolves around drink?
Buckled is based on Helen’s personal experience of navigating sobriety. The piece revolves around three central characters who are all connected but have different relationships with alcohol; Maggie who is six months sober, her son Callum, and his mate Ruby.
Ruby doesn’t think she has a problem. Maggie’s almost six months into recovery. Then there’s Callum… Family, friendship and booze. Drinking to remember. And drinking to forget.
“A tight, well-written and well-executed examination of a wider, recognisable societal problem… Mature, intelligent work with plenty to say and a big heart. – Vicky Anderson, Made Up Liverpool
