Liverpool’s PurpleDoor brings two of Shakespeare’s least performed plays to West Kirby, as part of a double-bill celebrating the best emerging talent in the region.

One cast will present The Two Gentlemen of Verona and King John across a limited season in August, plays which are so rarely performed it might be your only opportunity to see them!

‘They’re some of Shakespeare’s earliest work,’ says director Karl Falconer, ‘and they’ve got all of the ingredients that you come to know and love from his classics. There’s mystery, there’s intrigue, comedy, and a dog!’
