The cast is unveiled for The Scouse Red Riding Hood at Liverpool’s Royal Court.
Written by Kevin Fearon and with Musical Direction from Howard Gray, and directed by Mark Chatterton, it’s the team that brought Liverpool The Scouse Cinderella, The Scouse Snow White and The Scouse Jack & The Beanstalk.
Christmas is coming and nan is laid up as her sciatica is giving her gyp. It’s down to Little Red and her mate Big Blue to get out to her cottage in Spinney Woods with a proper scran. She wants some of that CBD rubbing oil you get from the place in St John’s that does the Spanish cleaning products too.
There are strange creatures that lurk in Spinney Woods but they meet a lad with a big chopper who makes them feel safe. They’d better watch out for the beasties and bugs. The snakes and scorpions. The woollybacks and… wolves!
The show opens on 8th November and runs until 18 January 2025.
The cast is (from left) Adam McCoy, Andrew Schofield, Chantel Cole, Emma-Grace Arends, Keddy Sutton, Liam Topbin, Lindzi germain, Lydia Rosa Morales-Scully, Paul Duckworth.
Kevin Fearon, Executive Producer at Liverpool’s Royal Court says,
“The Christmas Show is a chance to see all your favourites at Liverpool’s Royal Court, with plenty of laughs and lots of music. Rehearsals so far have been a lot of fun, and we know that audiences are going to love this. It’s a great way to finish another blockbuster year of Scouse shows”.
But wait—there’s myrrh!
