	The Short Sunderland Flying Boat
		The Empire boats would be little more than a footnote in aviation history except for the fact that this family of aircraft included a military type, the "S.25" or "Sunderland", which would become one of the most famous flying boats ever built.
		Of course, the Sunderland was not a luxury liner like the Empire boats, but it had a number of niceties useful for keeping its crew of seven in comfortable during long and exhausting ocean patrols and operations from remote locations, such as six bunks and a galley with a stove.
		While Sunderlands could suppress flak to an extent by hosing down the U-boat with their nose-turret guns, the U-boats had the edge by far in range and hitting power, although many Sunderlands were field fitted with four fixed 7.7 millimeter machine guns to improve their ability to hit back.

		It is not one story but literally dozens, short and long, the central spines being the history of Sunderland and the story of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell (the “real” Alice), both of whom had connections with the city and surrounding area.
		The stories are told within the structure of an imaginary performance on the stage of the Sunderland Empire theatre, the shorter ones interwoven within the two main threads and consistently underpinned by the stage setting.

		Sunderland's Empire Theatre, now renamed the Sunderland Empire, has re-opened after a £4.5m refurbishment with Starlight Express instead of the oanto which has been an Empire staple for many decades.
		It's a calculated risk by operators (the actual building still belongs to the city council) Clear Channel Entertainment which seems to have paid off in terms of audiences.
		Yes, there were a (very) few spills in some of the extremely fast moving sequences, but that is, I suspect, inevitable and they did not interrupt the flow of the show.
