The Legend Of Rooney’s Ring

Helen Serafinowicz (Motherland, Amandaland, Nova Jones) has created the ultimate scouse sword and sorcery tale that is packed with magic, romance, original songs and stupid gags. Based on a half-true rumour, this story of myth and missus will have you laughing your axe off all night long. 

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Liverpool, there lived a mighty warrior. Ever since he was a boy he was fast and strong and incredibly handsome. He could outrun any man or horse (and he had great buns). His name was WAYNE. 

The Legend Of Rooney's Ring - it’s like our Christmas Show but the weather’s better. 

Join us in the far-flung, mystical land of Liverpool where you will meet our hero. He is on a dangerous quest of heroic deeds and has vowed to fight evil through sheer force of will while his great buns are clad in a fetching pair of furry undies. He doesn’t care about all that fighting though, he just wants his C’leen back. 

C’leen was a humble bricklayer’s daughter from Crocky but, with her shiny caramel hair, she was the most beautiful woman in the whole kingdom. They fell deeply in love, making the sunshine, the flowers grow and the birds sing as tunefully as Posh Spice after the autotune’s been turned right up. All was right with the world, until Wayne got distracted by some lovely ladies and C’leen biffed his ring out of the window over the hill and far far away. 

Venture into the night or a matinee for a great night out (or afternoon with easy travel links back home so you can get in early without rushing to Central for the last train) with silliness, songs and laughs.
