Little Scouse on the Prairie

Little Scouse on the Prairie

The 'Scousest' play in town!  



This Christmas the Royal court gives you Little Scouse on the Prairie. Another fantastic play produced by Fred Lawless who has yet again managed to top himself this year by giving you his very own ‘scouse’ version of the Wild West.
This play is original and one of a kind giving a modern twist to your classic pantomime. If you are looking for a lot of laughter, fun and adventure then this play is perfect. With hilarious one-liners and song lyrics this play sent the whole audience into fits of laughter.
Mark Walter impressed with his set that easyily transformed from the local pub twisting around to reveal a Western saloon that included a small stage for the burlesque dancers. The cast of Royal Court regulars took to the stage including  Liverpool’s very own Andrew Scofield, Rachael Rae and Lindzi Germain who as always gave putstanding performances.
The story is kept simple with a family struggling to pay the rent for their pub in Speke, as the drunken Irish Priest Father O'Flaherty played by Alan Stocks and the gambeling nuns have put them in risk of closure. To try and increase profits they decide to hold a Wild West fancy dress night.
Entering the stage Mr Baddington (Paul Duckworth) makes his grand and menacing entrance demanding money from the family to pay their rent. Donna Marie (Rachel Rae) is terrified of the thought of losing her home and believes that her husband Dick has forgotten their anniversary and no longer cares.
She finds herself transported to the Wild Wild West through the magic of the Super Lamb Banana, taking Donna Marie to a land far away the Arizona town of Halewood. Finding strange characters along the way that are a lot like her family and husband who takes the form of a man called Walt Disney.
Every single character gave an outstanding performance including entertaining song and dance routines. Flawless has done a great job taking pop songs and giving them a comical ‘scouse’ twist.
This is a great pantomime to see with family and friends, if your looking for an evening full of laughs this is definitely for you!
