Liverpool’s Unity Theatre has a mix of drama, comedy, music and dance coming its way in the summer.
Headlining the season is a newly commissioned play, A Wondrous Place (May 15 - 18), created with Northern Stage, Manchester Royal Exchange, and Sheffield Theatres in which four of the UK's outstanding writers offer fresh, surprising and vibrant perspectives of northern cities.
Said&done returns following the success of Bash: Latter Day Plays with a production of Andrew Bovell's generation spanning drama When The Rain Stops Falling (June 18 - 22).
Musicals play an important part of the season with What We Did Next bringing comedy horror musical Batboy The Musical (June 5 - 8) from the composer of Legally Blonde.
NHS drama Floating (May 28 & 30) is back in Liverpool as part of a national tour. This verbatim one-woman play about a high-dependency nurse, overworked and undervalued was developed at Unity and is written and directed by playwright Sam Freeman.
Unity is also hosting Physicalfest, Europe's only specialist physical theatre festival, bringing protégé of Pina Bausch, Daphnis Kokkinos's new show Addio Addio Amore (May 25) alongside Fringe First winner Jamie Wood's comedy Beating McEnroe (June 1), Mary Pearson's Failure (and other opportunities for non-linear success) (May 31) and the ever-popular showcase event Fest Live (May 24).
