Boss New Plays

Liverpool's Lantern Writers have been working steadily with the best of the city's acting talent in recent years, providing an opportunity for new theatre voices to be heard on the Merseyside stage.

Expect two very different nights of theatre, with a different programme at each performance. There will be drama, laughs and perhaps smidgen of tragedy.

Whatever shows you see, the common thread they share is coming from the mind of a local playwright who wants to entertain you.
