Getting to the Playhouse theatre

Playhouse theatre
Williamson Square
Liverpool
L1 1EL

Found beneath the Radio City tower in Williamson Square, the Playhouse has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building for both its old 19th century auditorium and 20th century front of house extension. Seating 677 across three levels in a traditional proscenium arch setting, it is a surprisingly intimate theatre. As well as the main stage, the upstairs Studio serves as a performance space and rehearsal room. The Playhouse is easily accessible by bus, train, car and bike. Since we’re striving to be a greener business, we hope you’ll consider the impact of your travel when you visit.
