Bread and Circuses, a new play by Merseyside writer Mari Lloyd will premiere at The Lantern Theatre Liverpool to coincide with the Queen’s official birthday.

Set in 2012 it’s a play that looks behind the flag waving of public celebration to reveal a world where there may be circuses, but the bread is definitely in short supply.

The performances will take place at 8pm Lantern Theatre on 9th, 10^th and 11th June

The show will incorporate photographs on inequality by photojournalist Colin McPherson from the nationally acclaimed A 41 project.
