Many of the performances will be free to attend
A three-day festival incorporating live music, comedy and talks will be coming to Prescot next month.
The festival is part of Knowsley's year as the Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture and is delivered in partnership with Shakespeare North Playhouse, Writing on the Wall and Milapfest. Events will be held at the Shakespeare North Playhouse and Prescot Town Centre.Visitors can watch as a real life owl and pussycat tell tales of the sea in their own pea green boat, as well as enjoying live music, comedy and a special programme of readings, performances and talks.
Festival highlights include storytime with Frank Cottrell Boyce, stand-up comedy with Shappi Khorsandi and a conversation with Brookside's Eithne Brown, who will be considering the similarities between Shakespeare and soap. "What a great way to celebrate Lear's connections to Knowsley and also, in the process, enable more people to experience all that Prescot and the new Shakespeare North Playhouse has to offer. I can't wait to come along - it's certainly going to be fun."
