The hilarious comedy by Andrea Dunbar is based on the 1987 British film, and features a brilliantly funny script, impressive cast, and is bursting with all the best 80s music, taking audiences on a hilarious trip down memory lane through this cult classic.
Previous productions of the comedy at St Helens Theatre Royal proved massively popular, breaking box office records in 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2016. Rita, Sue & Bob Too! is a comedy, telling the gritty tale of love, lust, and the ultimate test of friendship.
St Helens welcomes home Michael Parr who will play the role of Bob. He will be joined by a fantastic cast including Crissy Rock as Mother and Jamie Greer as Dad; and St Helens favourites Tori Hargreaves as Michelle; Olivia Sloyan as Sue; and Kay Nicholson as Rita.
The tale of an enigmatic band of ramen ronin who guide the widow of a noodle shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe, Tampopo serves up a savoury broth of culinary adventure seasoned with off beat comedy sketches and the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster.
The 1985 Japanese Comedy, written and directed by Juzo Itami, remains one of the most delectable examples of food on film.
This screening is part of Liverpool Architectural Society’s new curated film series Consuming Architecture. The series highlights three diverse films, each exploring the subject of food.
The parallels between food and architecture often overlap – from the way that raw materials are sourced, processed and consumed to our understanding of both food and architecture’s global, environmental and sustainable impact.
Here he comes again, trotting on to the stage with all of the misplaced confidence of a waiter with no pad.

The men she has admired throughout her life have done nothing but let her down. But why did she idolise them in the first place? And what do you do when your role models let you down?

Fierce, funny, and wonderfully frank, Poppy and Rubina have sex and they aren’t ashamed to talk about it.
Their critically acclaimed podcast Brown Girls Do It Too (‘Best Podcast of the Year’ British Podcast Awards 2020, Asian Media 2021), explores messy realities, fantasies, sexpectations and navigating life and relationships as British Asian women.
Two seasons in, they have amassed fans who love their honesty and openness (love a period sex sesh…anyone else?) and faced enormous backlash online for breaking the silence on sex in Asian communities.
Bringing their characteristic candour, quick wit and infectious personalities to the stage, Poppy and Rubina reflect on the seminal moments from their lives from first orgasms and loves, to racism and family politics. Expect songs, sketches, and some very graphic content!
This is a celebration of brown British women, genital warts and all.
