Our summer show is almost upon us and tyranny is alive and well.

Shakespeare’s classic tale of conspiracy, tyranny and backstabbing will be on in various venues around Liverpool very soon.

Ancient Rome is given a modern twist in this gender neutral production. Power is ripe for the taking and whispers and daggers alike lurk in the shadows.

We are performing in some of the most beautiful indoor and outdoor venues Liverpool has to offer, so grab your picnic blanket and prepare to take in our ever popular summer show.

The Ides of March are come, but not yet gone.

Tickets are on sale now!

Rehearsals for our latest show NO EXIT (Huis Clos) are in full swing!

Rehearsals are running full speed for our upcoming summer show, The Taming of the Shrew, which opens in just over two weeks and will be performed at various beautiful locations in Liverpool. Time to get your tickets! You can book online via https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/thetamingoftheshrew.

Please check the poster above (or the ticket link) for full details about the Where and When.

Below is a snap from a successful first outdoor rehearsal – we hope to see you at one of the shows, and if you come to one of the outdoor shows, why not bring a picnic (and a whole bunch of friends)!

Network’s spring play, JB Priestley’s “I Have Been Here Before” is almost upon us! The show will be performed Friday 5th May (7.30pm) and Saturday 6th May (2pm & 7.30pm) at the Unitarian Church on Ullet Road and we’re all looking forward to what’s in store for us here. 

“Liverpool Network Theatre Group presents J B Priestley’s exploration of deja vu. When six characters find themselves thrown together to stay in a country inn on the Yorkshire moors for Whitsuntide it seems to be pure chance. But their interconnectedness soon becomes apparent as they are inexorably drawn to some irksome, illusive conclusion.”

Tickets are available at the following link, be sure to get yours soon: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/liverpoolnetworktheatre

White Liars: Sophie, Baroness Lemberg, is a disillusioned fortune teller in an out-of-season resort. She is visited by Tom, the lead singer in a rock band, and his business manager, Frank. It soon becomes clear that Frank has an ulterior motive in the visit, but as Sophie looks into her crystal ball we find that life really is stranger than fiction…

Black Comedy: This hilarious farce plays on light and dark. Brindsley Miller is an unsuccessful artist whose big chance has finally come, with a visit from eccentric millionaire art collector, Georg Bamberger. There are just a few problems to overcome: being engaged to Carol without having properly ended things with previous girlfriend Clea, the first meeting with Carol’s terrifying military father and having ‘borrowed’ his possessive neighbour Harold’s furniture to spruce up his flat. And then the lights go out…

Hi all!
We are currently seeking proposals for plays to fill two slots.

Firstly, our spring show, to be staged in late April/early May. Venue is yet to be confirmed, but will be indoors. As usual, we envisage three performances.

Secondly, there is another opportunity for the first week of February (3 performances: Friday evening and Saturday matinee/evening). We are looking for a one-act play (or monologue) to form the first half of a double bill. The piece should be between half an hour and an hour in length. The venue will be the Black-E and we are looking for something light and amusing to fit in with the other play (more news very soon). Set should ideally be fairly simple, but feel free to submit any ideas you like.

The initial deadline for proposals for both February and spring is the end of September. If you are interested in either/both slots, please send your proposals to liverpoolnetworktheatre@googlemail.com. We need the name of the play, the director and production manager (plus any other team members on board), any staging notes and why you think the production would be suitable for our company. If you need any help, then please feel free to contact us for advice and we will be happy to give you some pointers. Remember that we are always looking for new directors to come along and get involved. All of us started with no experience, so don’t be dissuaded if you feel your dream project may be too ambitious.
