A special contest was held by Liverpool’s Make it Write Productions to find plays to celebrate the occasion and the local Ukrainian community offered the team some ideas.

Sean Denyer from Dublin offers Iceland, about a Eurovision-themed pub-quiz where love might hold the winning answer.
A rom-com, Love Shine a Light, by Crosby’s Bernie Winston, tells of a duo who crashed out of Eurovision with nul point, who are asked to get together for a comeback.
And From Waterloo with Love, by Liverpool’s Steve Bird, tells of a taxi-ride edging towards romance. But the path to true love is never smooth...
Make-it-Write-a-Vision is at the city's Hope Street Theatre May 5-6.
