Council Depot Blues - Saturday 1st - Saturday 29th November 
It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. It's Stan's last day on the job and look what he's leaving behind. Clearing houses after the dearly departed have buggered off beyond the grave leaving nothing behind but busted sofas, faded photos and worthless heirlooms. It's enough to give anyone the blues. What he will miss are the lads who he works with in the Liverpool City Council Excrement Eradication Department. A bunch of social misfits without two airs and graces to rub together, they might wind each other up but they are a team. Stick together through thick and thin. They'd never desert each other or rip each other off. Not even if one of them found something really valuable... Following the amazing success of Brick Up The Mersey Tunnels and Lost Soul Dave Kirby's brand new comedy will have you laughing until you cry once again. A hilarious story about mates, hard slog and the light at the end of the tunnel all set to a stone cold blues soundtrack this is one that you can't afford to miss. ************************************************** Night Collar - Thursday 11th - Saturday 17th January 
It's Christmas Eve, the snow is falling and the meter is ticking. A cabbie is cruising the streets looking for the next paying punter to brighten his night and fill up his wallet. But this is Liverpool so he is guaranteed to get more than he bargained for. It's not every night that you pick up, amongst others, a prostitute, a naked stag, a drunken tramp and even an Elvis impersonator but they all make an appearance tonight. Each one of them driving home the point that, for a cabbie, life's not fare. Furlong and Power's classic scouse comedy is back in its spirtual home to celebrate Christmas in 2008. The play has broken Box Office records in every theatre that it has been in and has been splitting sides for nearly twenty years. There will be laughs galore throughout the show as the Royal Court will guarantee you a very merry Christmas. |
