Le Beaujolais Nouveau arrives by boat in Liverpool Docks, Friday 21st November...
The Potting Shed cabaret, which takes place on board
Walk the Plank's
theatre ship in Canning Dock, offers a
Beaujolais Nouveau special on Friday
21st November, with music from
deadbelgian... Liverpool's hottest cabaret
band
offering a unique twist on the music of Jacques Brel.
Come and celebrate
the produce of France's rich harvest with an 'unplugged'
cabaret experience
in the cargo holds of the ship, a former Norwegian ferry.
The evening will
feature film, fire-eating, shadow puppetry from Caustic
Widow, songs from
Newgate Gaol, and a playful interrogation of the clichés
of Gallic
culture....from a 'Guess the Cheese' competition to a visit by the
artists
of Montmartre.
Your compere for the evening will be Rinty Boo, aka Paul
Duckworth who was
last seen performing as George Groves in Zho Theatre's
recent play 'The
Quiet Little Englishman'.
Guest curators Tony Cairns
and Fionnuala Dorrity, regular performers at The
Potting Shed themselves,
have invited musicians, performers and artists from
Liverpool to develop
work for the cabaret. "We promise a very special
ambience, some wonderful
music, a few surprises and plenty of wine to ensure
that the arrival of Le
Beaujolais Nouveau is properly celebrated in
Liverpool" said Tony, as he
strummed the theme tune from 'Allo Allo' on his
ukelele.
