Cruel Sea

Synopsis:
1939 Liverpool. Dicky and Sam are two young scousers eager to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and countless other Liverpudlians. They want to see the world. They want a life of adventure in the Merchant Navy. And nothing is going to stop them. Not the U-Boats. Not the Luftwaffe. Not even their mums. Celebrating their indomitable spirit, heroism and humour, Cruel Sea was inspired by the living memories and experiences of Liverpool's war-time Merchant Navy and the people who experienced Liverpool at war.

Dream Of Joe Hill, The

Synopsis:
Part of the centenary events commemorating Joe Hill, Trade Union activist and song-writer, executed by firing squad in 1915. 100 years ago, on 19th November, 1915, Trade Union activist and song-writer, Joe Hill, was executed by firing squad in Utah, US, after what many considered a biased trial. "The Joe Hill Dream" by John Fay (Brookside, Coronation Street, The Mill) uses music, humour, and Brechtian-style theatre to capture the tragedy of Joe's death, which most agree was an attempt by corrupt authorities to stamp down on rising Union militancy, especially against the famous Wobblies (The Industrial Workers of the World). Includes the famous, moving song: "I dreamt I saw Joe Hill Last night."

Unprotected

Unprotected
Unprotected explores the recent developments in Liverpool that surround the sex trade industry through a documentary-style theatrical piece. esther Wilson, John Fay, Tony Green and Lizzie Nunnery embrace the diverse opinions from many of those involved in Liverpool's proposed legal zones for prostitutes. Based on over one thousand interviews with residents, sex workers, politicians, police and clients of the industry, this format allowed the writers the inside knowledge to create a dynamic and insightful Drama. Against this background, transcripts sent in to the writers allowed a compelling and brutally honest tale to unfold. Unprotected is an undeniably forceful play that captures the true essence of issues that surround the real lives of those involved in the very relevant sex trade debate, and its effects on the community as a whole.
