    Playwright Luke Barnes talks Lost Boys ahead of Unity Theatre premiere

    Luke Barnes started with a question. That question sparked a conversation, which prompted a workshop which in turn led to a performance. And now the award-winning Formby playwright’s Lost Boys – the result of that process of creation – is coming to the Unity Theatre for a week-long run ahead of a Merseyside community tour. The National Youth Theatre show, directed by Zoe Lafferty and with original music by Dom Coyote, will be staged from September 4-11. Actor-turned-writer Ba

One night a stranger knocks on the door of Paulina, a survivor of torture, and her human rights lawyer husband.

    It’s been quite a journey for writer Gerry Linford since he was highly commended in the Liverpool Hope Playwriting Prize two years ago. That play – A Prayer for St Cajetan – became hit comedy The Miracle of Great Homer Street, starring Les Dennis and running for a month on the main stage at the Royal Court. Linford followed up his debut with this spring’s Yellow Breck Road which proved to be another audience pleaser at the Roe Street theatre. Read a previous interview with Ge
