You couldn't really wish for a livelier or more articulate advocate for the cause of women to be recognised as individuals in their own right - or their own write - than the author and actor Stella Duffy. She delivered a very entertaining hour at FACT as part of Homotopia week, reading excerpts from her own novels which span a variety of genres, but all promoting the same message of women's rights to be allowed the freedom and honesty to live their lives without prejudice or gratuitous criticism. Duffy's watchword is "no lying".

Mr Nice is the story of Howard Marks, an unassuming and likable Welshman who went on to become one of the worlds most wanted criminals and a cult hero to dope smokers around the globe. He was an International drug trafficker who experienced many things even the best fiction writer would struggle to make up. Marks is a man I know very well having read his autobiography (also titled Mr Nice) many years ago and seen him live. It's fair to say I was expecting and hoping for a lot going into this film. Nevertheless I'm not one to pre-judge.
Playhouse Theatre, Liverpool
There are several good reasons to want to see Anthony and Cleopatra at the Liverpool Playhouse this month. The one the press like is Kim Cattrall of ‘Sex and the City’ fame as Cleopatra. While I’ve never watched the television show I am aware of the shoes associated with it and have more recently been impressed by Cattrall constantly reminding people that she’s from Liverpool, and yes I am both that shallow and that parochial. However the real draws for me are director Janet Suzman and actor Jefferey Kissoon as Anthony. Jefferey Kissoon was last (as far as I know) in Liverpool in Talawa Theatre’s The Gods Are Not to Blame at the Everyman. I was working there at the time and his performance was arresting to say the least; he was a powerful yet elegant actor who was a pleasure to watch each of the several times I saw the show. And he was a handsome man; all of us box office girls (and one of us was a boy) appreciated that; just to pass his dressing room added a frisson to our day. Perhaps more importantly (but only perhaps!), he has worked with Peter Brook, Robert Lepage, and Complicité, so don’t take my word for his prowess. Putting him together with Cattrall directed by the great Janet Suzman was surely going to produce special theatre.
