The venue
Royal Court Liverpool
An Art Deco theatre beside Queen Square, known for its own Liverpool comedies and Christmas shows.
What was here before: In 1826 the circus owner John Cooke bought the site, and Cooke's Royal Amphitheatre of Arts staged circus, plays, opera and concerts here. Fire destroyed the old theatre in 1933, and James Bushell Hutchins's Art Deco Royal Court opened on 17 October 1938.
