The All Mouth And No Ballot Party promises to be an all night long movable feast of scandalous drama, sleaze, live music, songs, satire, vegetables, original films, mud-slinging, dancing and that's just the election results!
This theatrical treat features an election themed cabaret performance from some of Liverpool's finest artists. Listen to Bourgeois Pig as he sings deliriously about the night he broke the Bank of Monte Carlo, meet the Politician and his Wife as they lean on the garden gate of sleaze, hear radical reworkings of classic songs; crooners, tooners and Dada beat poets. Smile with Knitting Woman at the Needlework Box of Free Speech and watch irreverent films faithfully sampling all your favourite dastardly politicians. As if that wasn't enough, ticket holders can also dance the night away with an all night DJ and election themed board games including tiddlywinks and snakes and ladders. Throughout the evening, the cabaret will stop and we will go live to the big screen whenever someone’s about to lose their marginals.
Come along and mark your ballot paper and post on the Wall of Free Expression... will it be hung or will it be swung? This will be a totally unique and interactive theatrical experience... who knows how it will end? Make sure you're there to find out!
Patrick Dineen (Composer King Cotton; Liverpool Empire & 08 People’s Opening), Artistic Director of Riders of the Ruby Moon said;“Liverpool is a political city, this is a very important election, which promises to be a dramatic and theatrical experience. We wanted to create an evening of cabaret acts and live broadcast of the election for the people of Liverpool as it has never been done before! It's a unique one off!”
