The Liverpool Everyman
“Meticulously directed, detailed and nuanced production which was powerfully moving and dynamic. Inspired and eager to attend the next one...”
“Absolutely blown away by the breadth and talent that has come through and breathed life back into The Liverpool Everyman. Jessica Meade’s interpretation of Build a Rocket it knockout!”
“This was the first play I’d seen in a long time due to lockdown and it blew my mind. The cast were utterly amazing, the story was told beautifully”

“ Go and see this. ”
“A performance though set
in a different time has so much
relevance to life in our current climate”
“Every production value was superb,
the dynamic of movement, music
and character performance was a
wonderful wave of the emotional spectrum”

Stage One, Leeds 2018
“I really wish I’d seen this show”
“ Detailed, heartbreaking performances,
an unhurried tempo and excellent organic direction
with an integrated set and lighting design [...]
exposing a series of duets crammed with fragments of unfulfilled love,
fleshed out with glances full of beautiful longing
and silences oozing nostalgia of what could have happened if...
”
“Nothing short of perfection.
With heart-wrenching scenes that were
almost voyeuristic at moments, it felt less
like watching a play and more like watching real-life
scenarios unfold between real people and in real time. ”
