Liverpool Live Latest http://www.liverpool-live.info/ Fri, 18 May 2012 08:32:54 GMT FeedCreator 1.8.0-dev (info@mypapit.net) REVIEW: Dark Shadows http://www.liverpool-live.info/film/review-dark-shadows The trailer for Tim Burton's latest offering had quite a few fans' tongues wagging. And worrying.

As the opening production of the season, Director Robert Icke brings his anarchic and fast-paced production of The Alchemist to the Liverpool Playhouse.

First performed by the King's Men in 1610, Ben Jonson's 17th century comic satire still retains piercing resonances with contemporary society with its themes of greed, desire and morality. The Alchemist is the tale of 'master conman', Face, and the not-so-trusty tricksters, Subtle and Dol who target London's rich, vain and greedy, dispensing spurious charms and promises of gold.

As part of Light Night, she will be appearing at The Victoria Gallery and Museum with a live demonstration of taxidermy, and discussing the inspiration behind the eerily beautiful still lives she creates and how she has breathed new life into a dead art. It promises to be a fascinating, surreal and unforgettable evening.

Ahead of the event, Polly took some time to answer some of Steven Daly's questions on life, death, and what
