Allt"s first play, "Brick Up The Mersey Tunnels", co-written, became a huge local hit at Liverpool"s Royal Court Theatre.

Allt"s next venture into theatre was to write and produce the hit show, "One Night in Istanbul", which became The Empire Theatre"s fastest selling show, after being watched by 25,000 people in a short run in the spring of 2009.
The show had repeated success at The Liverpool Empire, and at the brand new Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin"s docklands. lieutenant is now being made into a movie.
