2PM

HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS PERFORMANCE OF NIGHT COLLAR! Over the course of the last ten years The Royal Court has become known for a number of different things including producing some of the best Scouse comedy plays around.

Night Collar is one of the original and best Scouse comedies and when Jimmy Power approached us we were delighted to get the old cab out and give it another run. It is a show that was written by Jimmy and the sadly departed Tony Furlong who were cabbies for many years. The characters in the show are all very recognisable and the theatre is full of great big laughs of recognition for people that the audience know or (sometimes) have been themselves.

All of us at the theatre were very sad to hear of Tony’s passing away last year.

He was a good man to work with and I hope that this show will demonstrate what he did best. Make people laugh.

It is good to be working not just with Jimmy on the show but also Donna, Tony’s partner. We hope that we have put together a production that Tony would be proud of.

The cast that we have got for the show is full of your favourite Royal Court faces. We’ve got Jake Abraham shaking his hips, the much loved Eithne Browne, Suzanne Collins making everyone smile, Michael Ledwich bringing his cheeky scouse charm and Lenny Wood flashing his bottom (don’t

worry it’s in the script). A big thanks to Alan Stocks who, I’m sure you will agree, puts in a brilliant performance as the driver of the cab.

For a director for the show you couldn’t get better than Bob Eaton. He really understands the audience here and we are delighted to have him working with us again.

The show is, as ever, set at Christmas and as we sit in the May sunshine, we are grateful to The Royal Court Liverpool Trust for our presents.

They have done a great job with our onging refurbishment, raising £2.8m with the help of European Regional Development Fund, Liverpool City Council and, of course, you lot buying tickets.

We know that the foyer and circle areas look a bit rough around the edges at the moment and we’re grateful for you bearing with us. All of the work will be finished by the autumn so you can enjoy it all then!

In the meantime, it’s time to get the engine started. Taxi!

Enjoy the show!

Kevin Fearon Chief Executive

FARE PLAY!

A potted histoy of the the Liverpool theatrical phenomenon that kickstarted a new kind of theatre in the city - Night Collar Night Collar was an instant success and firmly established Furlong and Power as a formidable force in Liverpool writing.

The play began in the Playhouse Studio during the 1994 Liverpool Festival of Comedy. Following a sell out run at Liverpool’s Unity Theatre in 1995, Night Collar went on to play to packed houses at Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre.

The run was extended due to popular demand and went on to break all existing Box Office records with an overall attendance of more than five thousand.

The show then moved on to the Playhouse in 1997 and has appeared four times at the Royal Court since then. Each time the play has been produced it has brought thousands of people through the doors and has left everybody laughing their way to the taxi rank at the end of the night.

With popular theatre undergoing a renaissance in Liverpool (and at the Royal Court in particular) Night Collar has come to be regarded as the show that started it all off. This is a show that was written in the best traditions of storytelling - a night of pure entertainment that will make you laugh out loud. Sit back and enjoy one of the funniest plays ever performed on Merseyside.

What’s going on?

You may have noticed that we have got the builders in at the moment!

This is Act Two of the Royal Court’s refurbishment which includes an extension of the building to fill the space that used to be covered by the canopy. This will allow us to move Box Office to the front of the building and free up the current Box Office space to be used as a multi-purpose area. The new entrance will be a striking addition while still being in keeping with the current Art Deco style. We are also opening a new basement venue and adding lifts to all areas of the theatre.

The Welcome Project will create 480 square metres of new foyer space and dramatically improve the public realm outside the theatre.

There will be a new lift running from basement to balcony giving people with mobility difficulties access to the whole building. It will create a terrace at first floor level, new box office facilities and a new welcome space which people can enjoy during the day as well as in the evening before and after shows.

The building works will continue until the autumn and the building will be staying open throughout this period. If you would like to know more please visit royalcourtliverpool.com and click on “The Building” The Royal Court Theatre Welcome Project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and part-funded by a capital loan from Liverpool City Council.
