Liverpool Theatre Festival will return this autumn for a third consecutive year. Little LTF, the festival’s sister event to showcase new works, will also return for this spring.
LTF was first staged to boost the city’s live performance and creative arts sectors following COVID-19. After its inaugural year, the event returned in 2021 welcoming 2,700 festivalgoers across 12 days, with a programme featuring 23 performances of 16 shows.
Last year also saw the introduction of fringe event Little LTF, a seven-day mini festival to champion and showcase new works and talent, which attracted 1,200 festivalgoers.
Liverpool Theatre Festival 2022 will take place August 31–September 11. It will be preceded by Little LTF May 2–8. Both will once again take place at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church in Liverpool city centre, the marquee as the backdrop for Little LTF, with the main festival taking place outdoors.
Shows for the main festival will be announced in coming months. Meanwhile, creatives are now invited to submit new works for Little LTF.
