Hello and welcome back to ‘Noisey Neighbours’.   Those Two Weeks came to talk to us about their run at the Epstein Theatre.   Those Two Weeks isn’t a play about Hillsborough. It’s a play about before. It’s a play about the last time life was normal, and just how hard normal can be. It starts on the 1st of April 1989 and ends on the night of the 14th, and it’s the story of two weeks in the life of one very normal Liverpool family.   Written by the Hope Playwriting Prize Highly Commended Award recipient, Ian Salmon and directed by Naughty Corner Productions’ Mike Dickinson. The play performed at the Unity Theatre in early 2018 and now appears at The Epstein Theatre for five performances.
