"Big Society The Musical" receives its Liverpool Premiere

Sunday 17th August 2014 at 6.30pm
Picturehouse at FACT, 88 Wood St

This much anticipated feature film produced by local award-winning Production Company First Take receives its Liverpool Premiere as part of the Liverpool International Music Festival.

With 15 original musical numbers and over 300 local people involved in the making of the film this is a homegrown spectacle not to be missed. The film opened the London Labour Film Festival earlier this year where it received powerful reviews:

“Co-writer/director Lynne Harwood has crafted a story around characters who already work and live in a big society. When jobs and services get cut it has a devastating effect. In this case the story revolves around the relationship between a social worker and a young offender. The two leads put in strong performances on both the acting and singing front. This has some feel-good musical moments but it doesn’t sugar coat the cuts. By interweaving historical events such as the riots and the royal wedding into the narrative, along with the excellent score and songs this film takes you somewhere. That place is your community… The film is therefore situated where it counts: at the coalface of the cuts agenda. That agenda has actually eroded our big society. This film shows how austerity can force people to make decisions they shouldn’t have to and with each decision there are consequences.” Jon Bigger
