Bottleneck by Luke Barnes
Our first production was a sell-out run of ‘Bottleneck’ by Luke Barnes. (First produced by HighTide theatre company in 2014) We brought ‘Bottleneck’ to its home city, Liverpool, for the first time in 2018 at The Hope Street Theatre. The following year, we then had a successful North West tour at the Oldham Coliseum, The Edge Theatre and Liverpool’s Royal Court.
Our goal was to bring the theatre and the football community together.

“This is wonderful example of local talent and a perfect illustration of how brilliant theatre can be created with good writing and direction using only simple set, very few props and one very talented young actor with an extremely bright future ahead of him” - North West End
“The visual story-telling is matched by real emotional depth. Sensitively directed by Chantell Walker, there’s nothing mawkish about it. Lean, focused and increasingly tense, the production is determined to do justice to the events being depicted” - Circles & Stalls
"The text is something of a Mount Everest for a single actor to scale, but Daniel Cassidy is more than a match for the task. Under the direction of Chantell Walker he maintains a perfect balance throughout. From the comedy of the first section, which lulls us into a false sense of security, to the mounting terror of the latter half, he never allows the tension to lapse."- Good News Liverpool
