Welcome to The Liverpool Shakespeare Festival 2009! This, our third season is the most exciting yet with two brand new Lodestar productions taking centre-stage. This year all of our performances are indoors and we’ve joined forces with two of Liverpool’s most unique performance spaces to bring you a very special double bill.

We are proud to present ‘Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare in the magnificent concert hall at St George’s Hall from 11-23 August, and ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead’ at NOVAS CUC from 1-13 September. Both plays look at the same events from two quite different perspectives.

As ever, our venues are our inspiration and with a dash of Lodestar magic, we will use them and a fantastic company of actors to show you how ‘there are two sides to every story’. Did we mention that the same cast perform both shows?

HAMLET

The old king is dead, poisoned in his sleep by his brother, Claudius. Within a month Claudius has seized his throne and married his queen.

ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

Tom Stoppard’s extraordinary play sees the events of Hamlet through the eyes of two minor characters but it soon becomes horribly clear that they are the unwilling protagonists of their own tragedy.
