The Kindness of Strangers

Fri 24 Sep to Sat 16 Oct 2004

EVERYMAN

“It’s not about love. It’s not about kismet. It’s not about any of those things. It’s just business”

Welcome to Liverpool. The world in one city.

Macey’s a working girl with three kids.

Mohammed and his new friends brush up their troubadour act and keep their heads down. Jimmy’s found a lucrative new line. 

Cliff’s taking refuge in old Judy Garland numbers. 

And Sam?  Nobody’s going to get in Sam’s way.

This first full-scale production of Tony Green’s work is a rich fabric of interlocking stories where hope blurs with survival, love with commerce, and sometimes kindness can be found in the strangest of places.
