Mick Coyle meets playwright Jonathan Larkin ahead of his new play "Cherry Jezebel" appearing at Liverpool's Everyman Theatre.

The play charts the highs and deep lows of lead character "Cherry" a drag queen whose make-up and personality covers scars from their past.

Described as "Raw, rude, and raucous", the production looks at how events and people from the past shape our view of the present, and affect the way we make decisions about the future.

And its got a pumping clubland soundtrack to boot!
