This week our Culture Radar guest is Shakespeare North Playhouse CEO and Creative Director, Lisa Allen.
Loved: I recently attended the Class Assembly at the Everyman, which was a wonderful experience and an important conversation about working-class representation in the arts. I have generally been out and about, meeting people and getting to know the region; from beautiful parks like Calderstones and Birkenhead to guided tours of venues such as the Tung Auditorium and some fantastic press nights, it’s been a brilliant introduction to LCR’s culture and community.
Looking forward to: As someone who’s still new to the area, I’m just eager to soak it all up! There’s so much happening across the arts and cultural landscape in the Liverpool City Region, and I’m really looking forward to being part of the creative energy that makes it so special.
Trivia: My connection to Liverpool runs deep: my dad worked for many years on the docks in the iconic Liver Building for a shipping firm. That personal connection adds a special meaning to being here and makes this new chapter even more meaningful.
