Les Dennis and Andrew Schofield team up in a new comedy play this summer at Liverpool’s Royal Court.
The Miracle Of Great Homer Street by Gerry Linford was a runner-up in last year’s Hope playwriting prize, for which two of the judging panel were Les Dennis and Royal Court executive producer Kevin Fearon. Both felt the show would be a big hit with a Royal Court audience and have worked with the writer to make the leap from page to stage.
It’s Liverpool, 1978. The World Cup is on and Father Aherne, who likes a bet, is on a winning streak. It’s as if he’s getting help from above.
Les and Andrew are joined by Jake Abraham, Katie King, Cath Rice and Bobby Schofield. The show is directed by Royal Court regular Bob Eaton.
It runs from June 1 to 30.
