3 nights of theatre celebrating the Workers Theatre Movement

Playing at The Hope Street Theatre – Friday 6th, Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th June, 7.30pm.

In the 19320 and 30s, all over Britain, working-class theatre groups sprang up all over Britain, under the umbrella of the Workers Theatre Movement.

A production that celebrates the Workers theatre Movement and its upsurge of Cultural Activism will be showcasing at one of Liverpool’s best small City-Centre Theatres, the Hope Street Theatre.

Included in the 3 nights are a one act play about a 30s Socialist Theatre group, “Unity” by Tom Mclennan, and 3 modern Living Newspapers by local actors, inspired by the work of these Socialist Theatre pioneers.

The show – called “Workers Playtime” – can be booked via the Hope Street Theatre website and box office. Tickets £8/£6 from www.hopestreettheatre.com or call 0344 561 0622.
