From Nana Funk, the great-great-grandmother of good times, comes a heartfelt musical journey of exploration, inspired by real life events.
Tough Old Bird explores how women are viewed in society as they have the absolute gall to get older! Have you ever noticed those adverts promising to ‘defy the effects of ageing’? Ooh Nana hates them.
What about when we get old? Where’s the instruction manual? Who deems what is ‘acceptable behaviour’? What happens when your voice isn’t listened to, or you become slowly invisible?
Meet Rob, Little Joanne, Marian and Marian’s mate in their story where The Sheriff of Knotty Ash has upped the taxi prices and nobody can go clubbing anymore. Will Rob and his team of Merry Movers save the day for the clubbers of Liverpool this Christmas?

A brutal, hilarious masterpiece
Padraic is mad, everyone knows that. They don’t call him ‘Mad Padraic’ for nothing. And if, just maybe, you’d killed his beloved pet, the one thing you wouldn’t want is for him to turn up at your door.
So when Padraic returns home to Inishmore off the west coast of Ireland, the stage is set for a spectacular confrontation – an explosive dispute that could blow the small community apart.
Mixing cats, killers and casual violence, The Lieutenant of Inishmore is shocking, savage and sadistically funny, winning the Olivier Award for Best Comedy. From the acclaimed writer of In Bruges, The Pillowman and The Banshees of Inisherin, comes this breathless, blood-splattered tale of revenge.
“A terrific play about a serious subject that’s touched with a Monty Pythonesque insanity”
(The Guardian).
It’s Liverpool, 1987. The AIDS epidemic threatens a generation of Queer people left with no one to turn to but themselves. Across the world, groups of Lesbian women hold out their hands to help – and right here in this city, Aster sits by Marc’s hospital bed… watching, wondering and reading.
Tell Me How it Ends is about queer lives connected – two people deemed polar opposites realising they’re tied to each other in the face of an uncertain tomorrow. As they laugh, dance and argue their way into their future, can they make sure their own story’s ending never comes?
A joyous and uplifting journey through bedrooms and nightclubs, bad oysters, surprises and secrets, Tell Me How it Ends is the 2023 Homotopia Writers’ Award winner.
In this warm and wonderful world premiere, there’s lots of living to be done.

This winter, City Theatre proudly presents its first-ever adult pantomime, “The Scouse Genie,” a show teeming with Liverpool’s distinct energy and a dash of cheeky humour.
Dive into the heart of Liverpool with the story of Aria, a true Scouse girl, her family including her mother, Liver Bird, and her siblings, Timothy and Stacey. Their routine life spirals into an exciting whirlwind with the arrival of the enigmatic Scarr Quinn, who emerges under the guise of a long-lost uncle. But there’s more to Scarr Quinn than meets the eye.
