Down Our Street looks at the history of Cammell Laird shipbuilders, one of the greatest ship builders in the world, through the eyes of generations who lived on one street in Birkenhead. This fast moving piece of documentary musical theatre looks at lives, world events and community, whilst telling the tale of the illustrious shipyard.

Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, 2013

Down Our Street at the Royal Court for 2 weeks in April 2013 was an incredible experience. Every so often a cast comes together and works so hard on the spirit of a piece that the warmth and affection oozes out in the direction of the audience. From the first nervous rehearsal it became clear that I had a group of wonderful, happy and committed people. A joy to work with and a pleasure to watch. There were standing ovations after each performance and the critics loved it. Here's some stills from the show and some reviews of a fantastic run.
