There’s something very lovely about holding someone, their soul, their body warmth. I think it’s tribal…you just have this- I don’t know, a sense of home, I guess? It’s connection, isn’t it? I mean, it’s strange…We’re extensively connected to people all the time through technology, but it’s all fake. Really I think we’re probably more lonely than ever.
‘Touch’ is a piece of verbatim theatre created by Flood Theatre through a series of interviews on connection and belonging with young people in Liverpool. Following the pursuit of connection, ‘Touch’ looks at the ways we find love, create intimacy, experience loneliness, and ultimately find our home.

Get ready to stick it to the man because Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End and Broadway hit musical School of Rock is coming to rock out at Liverpool Empire!
School of Rock is the global hit musical based on the iconic movie starring Jack Black. Wannabe rock star Dewey Finn is cast out by his dive‐bar bandmates and finds himself in desperate need of cash. Posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite prep school, he exposes his students to the rock gods he idolises, transforming them into a mind‐blowing rock band. While teaching these pint‐sized prodigies what it means to truly rock out, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, Miss Mullins, helping her rediscover the wild child within. But, will they all find redemption at the battle of the bands?
Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, all the original songs from the movie, and a band of insanely talented kids that play live every show, School of Rock will warm your heart and blow you away in equal measure.
Matinee performances from 2.30pm and evening performances from 7.30pm.
School is a nightmare, boys are infuriating and Maccies is the only place open after 6pm.
Growing up isn’t easy, but it’s even harder when you are from a place where no one expects anything of you – and especially if you’re queer or the new girl at school. Beth, Rachel, Zahidah, Ellie and Chloe are stuck, stuck in their drama group, stuck in school and stuck in their small town which doesn’t even have a Nandos.
Our Town Needs a Nandos is written by Samantha O’Rourke, a YEP writer alumni who wrote the play during her time as YEP writer on attachment.
An unmissable one-woman show by acclaimed playwright Mark Davies Markham is returning to the Liverpool stage this summer after winning rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.
Comedy 2Gorgeous4U – From Ladette To Laundrette will be at the Royal Court Studio from Thursday, 2 June to Saturday, 4 June.
The show, starring Lynne Fitzgerald and directed by James Baker (Cherry Jezebel, Masquerade, Jerry Springer The Opera), was a smash hit when it opened the second Liverpool Theatre Festival last September.
It promises audiences an evening packed with laughter, throw backs to the Nineties and a soundtrack guaranteed to bring back memories of the decade.
Clare is a beautician with her own spa and treatment room in Waterloo. Happily single, she is online just in case. Her one desire in life is a wet room.
But back in the Britpop 1990s, Clare was one half of a pop duo 2Gorgeous4U with her best mate Tina. They were wild – but fell out acrimoniously.
Now they have been asked to reform for a music festival in their hometown of Liverpool. But can they put the past behind them and move on – and what was it all about anyway? All set against a musical soundtrack featuring Queen Latifa, Blur, Gabrielle, K-Klass, and plenty more.
A popular children’s book which teaches youngsters to love themselves just the way they are, has been turned into a live musical for the stage.
And Asa Murphy’s charming tale The Monkey With No Bum – The Musical is set to entertain young audiences and their families at venues across the Liverpool City Region this spring and summer.
The show, which features catchy original songs, enjoyed sold out success when it was premiered at Liverpool Theatre Festival’s Little LTF festival of new works last July – with an extra date added due to demand, and then went on to entertain Epstein Theatre audiences during February half-term.
The fun-filled show stars Lynne Fitzgerald as narrator Miss Jolly, Asa Murphy as headmaster Mr Plop and Brendan McCaffrey as Charlie the monkey.
Charlie is a fun-loving monkey, but he has one big problem – he hates his tiny flat bum. Things take an unexpected turn on his birthday when Charlie’s parents help him find the bum of his dreams. But he soon learns having a bigger, better bum may not be as important as he thinks.
The live stage show includes numbers like The Laughter Song, Perfect in Every Way and The Bum Bum Song.
