Sisters of Mersey review: Hallelujah! Sister Act meets panto in a joyfully saucy Scouse send-up, writes PATRICK MARMION

What fun it is to visit Liverpool's Royal Court Theatre, where audiences are flocking to the latest comedy by Jonathan Harvey (author of Beautiful Thing, and last year's hit A Thong For Europe). Even at a Saturday matinee the 1,100-seater establishment was bulging like a builder's midriff. Sisters Of Mersey is a subversively unsophisticated Eighties caper that's like a cross between Sister Act and a lewd, out-of-season panto. It concerns two nuns (one little, the other large) discovering that not only are they not twins; but the large one has a real twin sister in prison - Eileen Forward (prisoner 6969). Eileen has been 'framed like the Mona Lisa' and banged up for the theft of a jewelled crucifix from the convent altar. In case you're still in any doubt, this play makes Mrs Brown's Boys look like King Lear. And having the crucifix hidden inside a giant phallus will be considered in very poor taste, if not downright blasphemous, by some.

SCI-FI AND FANTASY

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 22, 2022
Christopher Priest, a prize-winning author, makes the routine seem strange, although the bizarre seem normal. The ante is certainly upped as he blends fictional and non-fictional stories: a dystopian storyline involving a police profiler, climate change, and an experimental communication device, as well as a real-life 19th-century miscarriage of justice involving a failed opera singer. The plot moves forwards and back in robbery jerks and ironies, with humour sprinkled on irony. A 19th-century meteorologist, brother of the opera singer, is worried about a new ice age as the south coast of the United Kingdom bakes. And although technology can give answers, they're sure in Priest's hands a bit more Delphic than that.
