Unity Theatre – Comfort | Hope Street, Liverpool.
A plug for Patchwork Theatre.
Redundancy has followed Rob around like a stray dog, but,as a counsellor for Personal Agony Relax and Release Call Centre [PARRCC] he begins to believe he has found his niche. With a talent for adding to company scripts Rob is noticed by the directors of [PARRCC] and he is invited to become the model for their AVATAR project.
Immortality and ungenerous financial rewards beckon, however, Rob deviously breaks the company’s prime rule, “No counsellor shall evermeet a caller!” A comedy of manners for the internet age with sparkling witthat punctures the dark side of our convenience culture.
Formed in 2008, Patchwork Theatre brings together poets,actors andmusicians in performance at social clubs, pubs and theatres. Patchwork performances typically stitch together Shakespeare, performance poetry, social commentary sketchesand popular music in a cabaret format. Nurturing artistes from the city’s community arts scene, Patchwork provides entertainment with a nip of satire.

The Funny Women Awards are open to any woman who can perform comedy in front of a live audience.

Last year the competition attracted over 250 entrants and there are half that amount already registered for this year’s Awards.

To Swim to Hilbre Island by Gill Curry
I did say in an earlier post that you can rely on local printmakers to put on a good show and here’s more proof. Maybe the only problem I may have is over-familiarity with the art/artists, at least for me.
I haven’t seen Gill Curry’s series of prints relating to the marine life around Hilbre Island before – very nice. I also like Anne Beare’s richly coloured etchings of an old Oak Tree. Also featuring works by Lisa Who, Mike Hatjoullis, Grace Horne and Eileen Summers.

A very nice show giving a good selection of Mark’s work including digital prints and the more recent acrylics which are very well executed. His caricatures are really good I think.

“We Are Englan” by Filter Theatre Company
Friday 5th to Saturday 6th June 2009, 8:00pm
Unity Theatre, 1 Hope Place, Liverpool, L1 9BG
Ticket Office: 0151 709 4988
Email: tickets@unitytheatre.co.uk
Tickets: £6 / £5 concessions and £4 for students of Liverpool Community College.
“We Are Englan is a unique play that has been realised through dedicated research. With an exciting fusion of comedy, physical theatre and verbatim a serious issue is addressed without degradation of entertainment value. The production aims to highlight the intense struggle for survival and freedom that takes place out of sight around the world every day and gives credence to the belief that every person has the right to make a better life for themselves. We Are Englan is a play that shows the human spirit at its best and contempt for human life at its worst.”
Jane Hughes – Lines of Perception at Unity Theatre
Tuesday 31 March to Saturday 2 May 2009
This exhibition actually finished more than a week ago but I really want to record it here as it was so good, I hope we and others can see the work again somewhere soon. We only managed to get to see it on the last day. There were a lot of great drawings documenting the old art school buildings and also hand-written observations including some written on toilet paper whilst hiding in the washroom! Very skillful, interesting and lovely drawings.
On-site drawing and writing underpin Jane’s practice. The act of being therewith all its sensual experiences is particularly important. Since graduating in Fine Art from John Moores University, Jane has been involved in two documentary projects within University Art and Design schools.
During 07/08 Jane undertook investigation via drawings and notes in four of the John Moores Art School buildings, forming an archive of life within these facilities [their last year before the opening of the new Academy of Art & Design].
Currently Jane is compiling a similar record at the Cornerstone campus of Liverpool Hope University. The works in this exhibition give a flavour of Jane’s observations through linear drawings, written notes and acrylic paintings.
Liverpool artwork of the week 2009 – 5. ‘Left Adrift’ photograph by Colin Serjent, ‘Abstract Way’ exhibition at Unity Theatre 3 – 28 February 2009
Very pleased that Colin Serjent is having a solo show, his photographs are straightfoward shots of natural objects, there’s no digital manipulation but they look like abstracts – Hence the title. Often its impossible to work out what or where they are taken, that’s part of the fun.
Subjects in his photography include colour relationships, decay and erosion, derelict buildings, woodlands, fragments of man made objects, weather ravaged natural objects and trampled debris. Lots of rich colours and textures.
