Illustrious theatrical career

Mr Patrick staged one hit play whilst at BRGS, The Servant of Two Masters. He also staged the non-hit plays The Nativity and Ernie's Marvellous Illucinations. In addition to these, he started rehearsals for the following plays, which, due to difficulties ranging from cast availability to Scouse dialect, never saw the light of day:

  • Murder in the Red Barn
  • An Inspector Calls
  • Stags and Hens

He also arranged auditions for 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', but rehearsals were never started.
