The fourth annual Liverpool Theatre Festival opens July 20.
The 11-day programme features 18 productions, some premières, while others are coming to Liverpool for the first time. Some shows will feature prior to their Edinburgh Fringe run and there is the biggest family programme to date.
The line-up includes comedy, drama, musicals, drag, family shows, LGBTQ and opera.
The live outdoor event is once again staged at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church in the heart of the city centre.
