Radical City week is here and I’m feeling as radical as rabid radish in a plum trifle. We’ve had Mark Thomas on the Everyman. He was so radical that he executed anyone in the audience who looked like they might have voted Conservative.
I think, therefore I am radical. Am I radical? The radical playwright Laurence Wilson certainly has a nice ring to it.
The meet and greet at The Playhouse for 'Tiny Volcanoes’ on the first day of rehearsals was a ‘Hi my name is …I am…’ between the Everyman and Playhouse, Paines Plough and the company.
If you can cast your mind back to two Everywords ago, you will remember Nabokov Theatre’s challenge to a group of Liverpool theatre artists – to take on the rise of the BNP in seven days – and the fantastic work that was made that scorching hot week by musicians, choreographers, actors and, of course, writers.
