Love, Liverpool: an A-Z of Hope
We’re calling for stories to be part of an exciting digital journey through Liverpool, featuring commissioned work by local artists and digital ‘picnics’ put together by some of the theatres’ well-known friends.
Love Liverpool: an A-Z of Hope combines audio, video and written word delivered through a series of weekly letters. Every week the letter to Liverpool, from Liverpool puts readers in a different place in the city, with stories included and ready to be explored.
Whether it’s a place that always reminds you of home, or a coffee shop where you broke up with your first love, we want YOU to share your stories to create a tapestry of memories and feelings attached to the streets of our city. This could be a monologue or poem of joyful memories, funny anecdotes and even the stories somewhere that may be a little painful to visit now.
Stories selected will join commissioned local artists tasked with providing their own stories of Liverpool. Artists already commissioned for the project include Amina Atiq, Luke Barnes, Mandy Redvers-Rowe and Chloë Moss. Through monologues included in letters, each artist will take audiences to a spot in Liverpool that is important to them.
Friends of the Everyman & Playhouse will also make an appearance providing ‘picnics’ – insights from famous faces that may be a recipe, an anecdote of Liverpool, or just a message of love to our city.
