Lantern Theatre Liverpool is playing host to its annual pre Edinburgh theatre event Shiny New Festival for the fourth year this July. From 27th July – 2nd August audiences will be treated to three shows per night from the North West’s top fringe talents. The festival, founded in 2012 by Shiny New Director Pete Mitchelson in association with the Lantern has gone from strength to strength in the past four years and this year’s line up is not to be missed. With an eclectic mix of performances from new writing to buffoon clowning there is something for everyone at Shiny New Festival.
