A GREAT PLAY.

A moving and wonderful and sadly true story of the awful laws and prejudice in the UK against gay men and women.

ONCE A YEAR ON BLACKPOOL SANDS (REVIEW PART 2)

The only other paying guest is Mr Elbridge (Dominic McCavish) it would take more than a few lines to describe the astonishing array of characters Dominic McCavish skillfully and expertly inhabits at the drop of a showman's hat. This production has it all in seaside bucket loads,love laughs tears and heartbreak,but ultimately this is a true story of two young men starting out in life together against impossible odds. Karlton Parris should be congratulated for casting Eddy and Tommy.The total conviction,attention to detail,chemistry and realism is off the scale. Kyle Brooks and Macaulay Cooper electrify the stage. The end of the play will stay with me for a very long time.Karlton Parris through love skill and unrivaled tenacity has recreated a beautifully moving historic event.

ONCE A YEAR ON BLACKPOOL SANDS (REVIEW PART 1)

Karlton Parris's ground breaking theatrical rollercoaster takes us back to a day when a large percentage of human relationships friendships and opinions was not only frowned upon but were downright dangerous,personal insults were just the start of it and physical attacks frequent. Two young miners Eddy (Kyle Brooks) Tommy (Macaulay Cooper) have booked a room at the Withering Heights guest house. We observe the strained enthusiasm and awkwardness brilliantly played out by Kyle Brooks and Macaulay Cooper. But this is where the fun starts! Now there is nothing funny about someone who has suffered a stroke with the exception of Red Ethel superbly played by Linda Clark who pulls every trick from her vast theatrical goody bag. This really is a family affair as real life mother and daughter Gladys (Wendy Laurence James) Maureen (Mollie Jones) positively sizzle with Blackpool naughtiness,a brilliant double act which just kept giving. Sigmund Freud would have a field with these two! More
