Shakespeare North Playhouse aims to bring people together to participate in a unique programme of performance, activities and conversations, inspired by Shakespeare and relevant to all of us.
At its heart is a traditional 470 seat timber framed Shakespearean theatre that hosts a mix of vibrant performances. Theatre, music, comedy, workshops, events and activities spill out into the exhibition gallery, Studio and Sir Ken Dodd Performance Garden, creating an accessible space full of joy and creativity, where everyone is welcome!
Inspired by Prescot’s historic connections to William Shakespeare and a real love of storytelling, Shakespeare North Playhouse plays a key role in the ongoing regeneration of Knowsley; a place full of brilliant people with a story to tell.
