A little history
Prescot has extraordinary connections to Elizabethan theatre — the town had a playhouse in Shakespeare's time and was an important stop on the route from London to the north. The new Shakespeare North Playhouse, opened in 2022, is built in the spirit of the original with a thrust stage and galleries.
The Shakespeare North Playhouse is genuinely excellent — world-class Elizabethan-style theatre. The town centre for the historic heritage. The Knowsley area for wider attractions.
