An Inspector Calls

Stephen Daldry’s multi award-winning National Theatre production of JB Priestley’s classic thriller returns after a record-breaking, sell-out tour in 2022.

JB Priestley‘s brilliantly constructed masterpiece powerfully dramatises the dangers of casual capitalism’s cruelty, complacency and hypocrisy. Stephen Daldry‘s epic production highlights the play’s enduring relevance.

Written at the end of the Second World War and set before the First, An Inspector Calls is a compelling and haunting thriller. The story begins when the mysterious Inspector Goole calls unexpectedly on the prosperous Birling family home. Their peaceful family dinner party is shattered by his investigations into the death of a young woman. His startling revelations shake the very foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine our consciences. More relevant now than ever, this is a must-see for a whole new generation.

 

Six

Embarking on its UK tour, Six the musical tells the history of Henry VIII’s wives in a way audiences haven’t seen before.

From Tudor Queens to Pop Princesses, the six wives of Henry VIII take to the mic to tell their tales, remixing five hundred years of historical heartbreak into an 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power. These Queens may have green sleeves but their lipstick is rebellious red.

Six the musical is a sell-out Tudor take-off with ‘an incredibly strong and powerful message’ (The Australian) and is ‘pure entertainment’ (New York Times), with a Gold-Disk winning album featuring songs such as Don’t Lose Ur Head and Ex-Wives.

Pride and Prejudice

Step back in time over two hundred years and meet Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters as they navigate the mire of manners of regency society.

With stunning period costume, timeless wit, and a romantic original score, Chapterhouse’s Pride and Prejudice is a faithful telling of Austen’s greatest work.

Join family and friends for an evening of magical theatre as we bring the world’s favourite love story to gardens and grounds across the country.

Zog and the Flying Doctors

Zog, super keen student turned air-ambulance, still lands with a bang-crash-thump.

Together with his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, they tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with one too many horns and a lion with the flu. However, Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle back in a crown and a silly frilly dress!

With a bit of help from some friends and half a pound of cheese, can Pearl make her uncle better and prove princesses can be doctors too?

Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions (Zog, Stick Man, Tiddler & Other Terrific Tales) are back, with music and lyrics by Joe Stilgoe (Zog), for this truly modern take on the classic fairy tale.

Most suitable for ages 3+ but all ages welcome!

Additional early day show, 10 July, 10.30am.

Sisters of Mersey

Sister Petra and Sister Brenda have grown up in St Elmo’s Convent in Dingle as identical twins but Monsignor Michael has some shocking news for them. They are not twins at all! If you look closely you can tell because they look completely different.

The Sisters decide to change the habit of a lifetime and escape from the convent to discover what happened to their real families. When they get out into 1980s Liverpool they find themselves locked into a battle with a wicked gangster, trapped in an improbable heist and trying to pinch a nudey statue to fill a gaping hole in the Monsignor’s apse.

Writer Jonathan Harvey (A Thong For Europe) is back with another riotous comedy featuring some classic 1980s bangers. It’s got everything that you need for a great show: a set of twins, loads of great music, another set of twins, some nuns, another set of twins, a madcap heist, another set of twins (possibly. I’ve lost count)…

So squeeze into your best wimple and get down to the Court for a brand new comedy that is second to nun!

Boys from the Blackstuff

This is 80s’ Liverpool. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance.

Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find the jobs, avoid the ‘sniffers’ and see if you can have a laugh along the way.

40 years after Alan Bleasdale’s ground-breaking television series was essential viewing, Liverpool’s Royal Court is delighted to present an unmissable, powerful new adaptation by James Graham, writer of the hit BBC series Sherwood.

Having completely sold out the 2023 run, this is sure to be the hottest ticket of 2024.

Romeo & Juliet – Outdoor Th...

Shelter invite you to join them at Claremont Farm this summer!

A passionate, poetic and utterly gripping production of this Shakespeare favourite.

Shakespeare states in the opening lines of this play that we are going to see an explosive swash-buckling romance. But the surprise he has in store for us is that it’s extremely funny too! The Montagues and the Capulets are at war with one another – but when Montague’s son gatecrashes Capulet’s party in disguise and falls in love with Capulet’s daughter a chain-reaction of events is set in motion which has a devastating conclusion.

Illyria last performed this terrific play ten years ago; the production was Critic’s Choice in Edinburgh, attracted 5-star reviews in Canada and received a nomination for Best of Fringe in Vancouver.

Running time (approx): 2hrs 20mins (inc 20 minute interval)
