LIPA ACTING GRADUATES 2013 PRESENT A NEW ADAPTATION OF PUNK ROCK
By Simon Stephens

Directed by Abi Taylor Jones, Asst. Dir Stephanie Hockley
Designed by Frankie Bradshaw

The Liverpool Actors Studio Theatre
36 Seel Street, Liverpool, L1 4BE
Friday 14 & Saturday 15 June, 7.30pm
Matinee: Saturday 15th June, 2.00pm

LIPA Acting Graduates present a new adaptation of Simon Stephen�s PUNK ROCK at the Liverpool Actors Studio Theatre from Friday 14th June to Saturday 15th June 2013

This new production tells the story of William Carlisle, a brilliant but troubled student at a Sixth Form in Stockport. The play follows the lives of William and his classmates, as they prepare for mock A-levels, whilst tackling the pressures of teenage life head on. They are educated and aspirational, but slowly they discover the disjunction, aggression and tensions within their friendship group, and the impact this has on all their lives, giving an insight into the cryptic youth culture of today.

Simon Stephen�s �Punk Rock� premièred at the Manchester Royal Exchange in 2009, before transferring to the Lyric Hammersmith. The play, credited by Variety to "confirm Simon Stephens as one of the most important and exciting British playwrights working today�, holds an important place in the world of modern playwriting, and was both a critical and commercial success. A popular study text at both AS and A level, the play still today has a strong fan base and a strong connection to the youth of Britain today.

The production cast is made up of graduates from the LIPA Acting Class of 2013.
The cast includes Richard James-Clarke as William Carlisle, Abi Taylor Jones as Lilly Cahill, Sean Prior as Bennett Francis, Sebastian Gray as Chadwick Meade, Laura Dean as Cissy Franks, Jack Quarton as Nicholas Chatman, Beth Lilly as Tanya Gleason and Cooper Randle as Dr. Richard Harvey.

The creative team is completed by Frankie Bradshaw (design), Dave Baxter (lighting and sound), Antony Claas (Stage Management).

In Thoughts Of You - The Story Of Billy Fury
Friday 19 April 2013
The Liverpool Actors Studio Theatre
Billy Fury (17 April 1940 - 28 January 1983) born Ronald Wycherley, was an internationally successful English singer from the late-1950s to the mid-1960s, and remained an active songwriter until the 1980s. Rheumatic fever, which he first contracted as a child, damaged his heart and ultimately contributed to his death. An early British rock and roll (and film) star, he equalled The Beatles' record of 24 hits in the 1960s, and spent 332 weeks on the UK chart, without a chart-topping single or album. Allmusic journalist, Bruce Eder, stated, "His mix of rough-hewn good looks and unassuming masculinity, coupled with an underlying vulnerability, all presented with a good voice and some serious musical talent, helped turn Fury into a major rock and roll star in short order". Others have suggested that Fury's rapid rise to prominence was due to his "Elvis Presley-influenced, hip-swivelling, and at times highly suggestive stage act." - www.theliverpoolactorsstudio.com
