Welcome To

Hello and welcome to Liverpool’s Royal Court and this performance of A Greasy Spoon!

We pride ourselves on putting Liverpool lives on stage. When you come to see a show at Liverpool’s Royal Court we want you to be able to put yourselves in the actors shoes and recognise the characters and scenarios as if they were a part of your lives. This is why it surprised me that we have taken so long to produce a show set in the local café!

Alice Bunker-Whitney is a great new writing talent and we spotted this show at the Everyman’s new writing showcase.

They weren’t up for producing a full version so we nipped in and brought it over here. Strong characters, plenty of jokes and a real popular appeal, it felt like a Royal Court show. Francesca Goodridge directed Shout here a long time ago and we are delighted to have her back. With Francesca and Alice working together we were sure that it would be a great show.

from down there has really started to work. We want to offer a big Royal Court welcome to Ben and Anthony who are both new faces for us.

Our designer, Alfie Heywood, always delivers and we love what he has done with the café. As always the stunning lighting has come from Ian Scott and the sound magic is provided by Kate Harvey.

The only complaint that I have about this show is the poster. Every time I look at it I go and order a Full English from the café in the foyer. I am putting the receipts in to the marketing department.

So now it’s time for you to settle down and watch the show. We hope that you recognise the characters and the setting at the start, but if it still feels familiar by the end then please contact the authorities.

Enjoy the show!

The cast have been excellent in rehearsals. Lindzi and Hayley need no introduction and they will make you feel right at home.

Those of you who are regular visitors to the Studio will recognise Adam from Masquerade and Jay from the sell out run of Whatever Happened To Billy Kenny. The conveyor belt of talent

Talent Development

Liverpool’s Royal Court continues on its journey to work towards talent development across the city

Maurice Bessman

Music Access All Areas

Boisterous Stage Write

There is no doubt Liverpool is renowned for its wealth of talent but we, along with the rest of our city’s theatre organisations and institutions, recognise we need to do more to ensure we are accessible, engaging and aspirational if we are to be truly representative and inclusive of the communities we serve. It is a long-term continuing process and funding is key as is working together with the theatres across the region.

Over the past three years we have laid down the foundations, initiating our plans for meaningful and real change. This includes the theatre’s programming, engagement, accessibility and relationships with artistes, communities, creatives, individuals, institutions, organisations, Schools/FE. We are working towards ensuring our talent development programmes are applicable, realistic and robust.

Listening and engaging in the first instance to a wide cross section of creatives and communities – recognising and taking ownership of our failure to be fully inclusive and to take a proactive approach to ensure there is inclusivity and diversity across the sector A brief look at a few of our talent development projects so far:

Community Music AAA (Access All Areas) is a partnership project together with three grassroots organisations: Positive Impact, Capoeira For All, and Catalyst performing arts supported by funding from Youth Music. Children and young people aged 6 – 25 can access free musical instruments, musical theatre, hip hop, dance, singing, drama and performance

Raw Talent Young people from our youth theatre continue to have access to auditions and employment opportunities – during the past 3 years, 6 young people have been cast in Terriers, written by Maurice Bessman touring to schools and venues across the country.

More recently working with Fury films, 120 young people aged 15 – 25 from across the city took part in audition workshops for the film of Terriers at Fire Fit in South Liverpool, MYA’s Space in Bootle and The Vibe in Huyton. 8 young people will be working with the Director to support the script development.

Mentoring This is a pilot programme supported by PH Holt Trust and Curious Minds – eight mentors from the creative industries have been paired with mentees – providing support, guidance and shadowing opportunities in acting, marketing, production, directing, writing, set design, and music skills. This talent development initiative will support eight young black, asian and minority artistes and creatives develop their skills as they progress through the industry.

Programming Our Boisterous Theatre strand of programming brought us a main house production of Bouncers, in August and September introducing four new actors to the main house stage – and new audiences to the theatre.

The Alternative Black Cabaret Showcase – now a regular bi-monthly show presenting some of the best black comedians and singers on the circuit and with a platform to showcase emerging and existing local talent.

Co-production with Red Ladder in September/October, with a cast of professional actors and 20 members of our community choir.

Stagewrite – our new writing classes/workshops to encourage and support new writers to develop their work to full production.

We continue on our journey with a number of other talent development initiatives in progress as a matter of priority to ensure we remain accessible, adaptable and continually listen and learn. It will take time and investment and with your continuing support for all we do. We will make a difference.
