The problem with rhinos is that they don’t always appreciate that there’s a major media launch happening. And so, at 9am on a chilly Monday morning, a decent chunk of the North West’s broadcast media, as well as several writers clutching notebooks, waited in vain for a glimpse of one of the star residents of Chester Zoo’s huge new Heart of Africa zone.

As DaDa turns 40, Northern Soul writer and DaDa’s chair Rob Martin writes about the professional becoming personal. In 2025, one of the North’s most important arts organisations turns 40. But it might well be new to you, despite four decades of groundbreaking work, national and international collaborations, revolutionary artist development programmes, and a biennial festival which has taken place in and around Liverpool since 2001.

It starts in flames. Flickering on the screen of an old BlackBerry, its landscape display diminishing them in scale, they could, at first glance, be part of any number of blazing bodies – logs burning with homely warmth in a living room hearth, a bonfire lit in ambiguous celebration of a failed regicide, a beacon to signal an alarm across breadth of an imperilled nation.

I usually write theatre reviews the minute I walk through the door. It’s all still there in my head, sharp and bright, every detail could make it into the copy. This time, however, I had to decompress. Josh Seymour’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire was just too good. It completely discombobulated me. I went with a new friend I don’t know that well, which caused an issue because I felt obliged to maintain some semblance of normality after the well-deserved standing ovation at the end.

You know the kind of thing you’re getting with a Shakespearean comedy. Lovers falling out with each other amid some crossed wires. Someone (usually a hapless male) dressing up in ridiculous fashion. Mistaken identity, often resulting from the aforementioned dressing up. It’s a bit like an Elizabethan version of how nobody can tell Clark Kent is Superman because he wears glasses.
