News & Updates — Likeminded Productions

Long-standing community Theatre Company, Imaginarium has been working hard since September to put on a delightfully colourful and bonkers northern and modern twist on Pride and Prejudice. Each character had their distinctive colour and style and we are transported in the first scene to the Bennets` council House bedroom whereby they introduce themselves by singing to us; not unlike the Spice Girls! The whole thing had a lovely upbeat feel. It is a mixture of the Musical Six and the bedroom scene with Sandy and the girls in Grease.

Night Out At: SUS

Setting the scene is a projection onto the back of the stage. Footage from the 1979 election is interspersed with live updates of the polls, and information of new police powers disproportionately affecting the black community. It launches you headlong into the performance and straight into the police station. Filing cabinets, chairs, and a table adorn the stage, giving the air of a slightly shabby local police haunt.

Night Out At: Im Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard isn’t just in the title of this production, he’s in the very fabric of the set. A mural adorns the centre of the stage- Gerrard in mid-footballing celebration. And whilst his ears might be burning a little bit, it turns out that pop icons Girls Aloud and Beyonce get just as much- if a bit more- time on the pitch in this incredible show.
