Unity Theatre’s programme of work in Liverpool continues on May 17 with Tooth+Nail’s dementia-themed thread (working title).

This emerging company brings its blend of storytelling and bodily feats, while the following day Unity forms part of Liverpool’s festival of culture, LightNight, and on May 25, Unity associate company Tmesis Theatre presents Physical Fest Scratch Night.

The Damned United—the story of Brian Clough and Leeds United—returns, following its successful 2016 run, on May 22 and 23. In light of the success of Nina: A Story About Me and Nina Simone, a jazz icon is back in the spotlight on May 24 with Who Wants to Live Forever?.

This musing on love, loss and hope also features the songs of Billie Holiday written and performed by Cheryl Martin.

Unity first-timers Cusan Theatre, created by South American practitioner Tanya Cusan-Espinosa, appear on May 30 and 31 with The Princess of the Rainforest.
