Northern Broadsides will return to Liverpool this November with The Winter’s Tale, one of Shakespeare’s most inventive and enigmatic plays, with elements of tragedy, comedy, romance and psychological drama, of reconciliation, love and forgiveness. The show will be at the Playhouse from 17th to 21st November.

Northern Broadsides are renowned for their refreshing, unpretentious approach to classic drama, making virtues of clarity and simplicity. The large ensemble cast of multi-talented actor-musicians perform in their own charismatic northern voices, allowing the audience to hear the words afresh. They last visited Liverpool in May, when they performed King Lear at the Playhouse.
