A spectacular weekend of events is promised with the opening of Merseyside's new £38m playhouse.
The Shakespeare North theatre in Prescot is officially opening its doors to the public from today (Friday), and a free outdoor performance to celebrate the heritage of the town takes place this evening to mark the start of a weekend of celebrations.
The event, "All the Joy You Can Wish," is described as "a glorious ceremony to celebrate with all of the noise, glamour and silliness we can muster." The performance will begin on Prospero Place (directly outside Shakespeare North Playhouse) at 6pm and last approximately an hour.
