Ahead of their new season and the launch of Unity On-Demand this January, they’re giving you the chance to catch-up on all the brilliant productions you may have missed online this year.
Until Saturday 15th January, the majority of their 2021 in-venue programme is available to watch online for a special, winter watch period.
Alongside the brilliant work that has previously been available to watch online this year, including work from their Open Call programme, they will also have 5 new premieres, including BlackFest, Elaine Collins and three Christmas-specials – The Secret Circus, Nana Funk’s Stocking Filler and Us Four: A Festive Folk Night.
The Unity Winter Watch not only allows you to enjoy great entertainment from your home and catch up on shows you have missed, but you will also be supporting Liverpool talent at the same time. All shows will be £5 to watch with all of your ticket money going directly to the artist or company.
So grab your blanket, quality street tin and mulled wine, settle in and enjoy some fantastic Liverpool productions (whilst supporting artists at the same time).
