Top of PageTrapped
Synopsis:
Imagine being trapped down a mine shaft (without Lassie). Or in a confined space of any size and shape. there's always hope of escape. A gallant rescue by a sexy fireman? Unfortunately Trapped isn't about any of that. . .it's more about being stuck up the creek of our own consciousness, without a paddle to help us sail the river of destiny. . .An intellectual Titanic set in the dry-dock of a wasteland - only without Kate Winslet and that American ponce. Trapped takes a darkly comic look at how society forces us to conform to the 'norm'. Who the hell says we can't be elvis? Or Greta? And if we want to wear sequins on a Tuesday night in Accrington, then we bloody well should and let no bugger try and stop us. Trapped. . .is a scary place to be. . .but when others stand up to be counted like that bloke in Spartacus. . .well. . .just maybe there's a way out!

Top of PageTreasured
Synopsis:
a unique, large-scale, multimedia theatrical event takes place in the heart of Liverpool Cathedral in the autumn, conceived and created by Cut to the Chase Productions artistic director Jen Heyes. Treasured-from Monday to Saturday October 1-6-will see the landmark transformed into a living, breathing canvas of Titanic proportions. Jen explains: "Treasured will be delivered by highly skilled professional performers, with original live and recorded musical composition, never before witnessed film and aerial theatre. Treasured will be an experience that is truly unique, a theatrical and thought provoking spectacle. "Based on the Titanic story it will not simply be a re-telling of the events leading up to the tragedy that cost the lives of so many innocent people but also invite audiences to consider who and what we treasure in our lives and why we treasure them" eryl Parry, Director of enterprise for Liverpool anglican Cathedral, said "We are really excited at the prospect of this production in the Cathedral! It's such an awesome building, but will really come to life in a new way with such powerful performances planned-even from the walls and above our heads! We're sure that they will be six nights that will live long in the memory and will forever touch everyone fortunate to get a ticket."

Synopsis:
A woman is hauled out of the River Mersey wearing only her Victorian undergarments. She has a story to tell of both old and new Liverpool, landed gentry and a sailor town dockside whore.

A feast of theatre, dance and art, where voices speak across time and music touches everyone's hearts. Witness the beginnings of a new Liverpool Drama as it unfolds.
