The Art of Falling Apart from Big Wow

Liverpool Unity Theatre's spring season opens with the return of Big Wow Theatre's hit sell-out show The Art Of Falling Apart (January 9-26), created by playwright Robert Farquhar (Dead Heavy Fantastic, God's Official) with Liverpool Everyman Youth Theatre Director Matt Rutter and Tim Lynskey.

20 Stories High is back following the success of touring Blackberry Troutface with the première of Whole (January 31-February 2) created with young people and examining sex, death, love, religion—and dubstep!

Edinburgh successes feature heavily starting with the award-winning Clout Theatre's How A Man Crumbled (February 8), and Daniel Bye (February 16) fresh from Northern Stage at St Stephens brings his performance lecture The Price Of Everything.

Fringe favourites and masters of physical theatre Idle Motion bring their Total Theatre Award nominated Borges and I (March 14), while Rhum and Clay return, after stunning audiences with Shutterland earlier this year, this time with their Edinburgh sell-out A Strange Wild Song (March 19).

Told by an Idiot return with acclaimed actor Edward Petherbridge and Paul Hunter in My Perfect Mind (March 5-9) is a comic tale of a man not doing King Lear.

Les Enfants Terribles finally arrive at Unity bringing The Trench (April 10), a puppetry and live music show inspired by the story of a miner entombed in a tunnel during World War One.

Finally Perrier Award winner Will Adamsdale brings his new show, created with the Royal Court Theatre and producers Fuel, about a work-shy writer discovering a Victorian man living in the wall of his flat in The Victorian in the Wall (April 5-6).
