Smoke and Mirrors: A Cabaret for Liverpool, July 2008
Our professional cabaret transformed a disused mill in the north Liverpool docklands into a sumptuous music hall ala 1908. With music and magic, satire and slapstick, dance and delights we offered a sugar coated battle cry for people to stand up and be heard by the forces that govern our city and our nation. With four actors and a four piece band the show transported its audience back in time drawing lots of parallels between then and now. We’re hoping to tour Smoke and Mirrors nationally in 2010.

Directed by Sarah Thornton, Musical Director was Simon James, Designed by Steve Denton, Film by Adrian Challis, Lighting by Neil Riley.
