Join the team for a celebration of Shakespeare’s birthday (23 April) with Lights On / Lights Off. 4 performances in the Cockpit Theatre over the birthday weekend.
2 shows performed by candlelight, 2 performed in ‘daylight’.
36 Shakespeare scenes (9 scenes per performance) with 1 ensemble of actors from the Liverpool City Region.
This event is an opportunity to watch the ensemble, led by Shakespeare North Playhouse’s associate artist Ben Crystal, live in our Cockpit Theatre.
The company will successfully ‘quick-raise’ a scene from every Shakespeare play in the First Folio.
Each show will have 9 different scenes, none will be repeated, so if you want to see a scene from every play you’ll have to join them for all 4 shows! This event is the culmination of 5-days working together and promises to be electric.
