About Shakespeare North Playhouse
The playhouse hosted performances made possible by the Earl of Derby, resident at Knowsley Hall. It is thought that it was the only purpose-built indoor playhouse outside of London.
Players brought with them new shows from a popular playwright of the day, William Shakespeare, and were grateful for the Earl’s support.
This is the inspiration for Shakespeare North Playhouse. Which is a Shakespearean era playhouse, based on the Cockpit-in-court theatre 1630 and earlier designs by the celebrated architect Inigo Jones. This unique theatre is at the heart of a remarkable and contemporary building for education and social activity. A place that welcomes its community and theatre lovers from around the world to celebrate creativity and the joy of performance.
It is a regeneration project that reawakens and reinvigorates our town and brings a sense of excitement and opportunity with it, establishing Prescot as a thriving part of Liverpool’s City Region.
