"Liverpool Playhouse: A Theatre & Its City remains a fine and important work that should be enjoyed by experts and enthusiasts alike."--Theatre Research International "So this is both a book that can be dipped into for interesting quotations and anecdotes and to look at photos of actors when they were much younger and a story that can be read through, but it can also be valuable as a resource for more serious students of regional theatre, showing how it has responded to a changing social and political climate over the last century."--The British Theatre Guide, From the Liverpool Playhouse Theatre's opening as the Repertory in 1911, changing to its current title in 1916, through to the latest run of Roger McGough's adaptation of Tartuffe in September of this year, Ros Merkin employs all of her vast knowledge and exemplary research skills in conveying not only the high points but also the dark days of one of the north-west's premier venues. She does this with such clarity that it is almost as though those quoted past and present are actually being interviewed solely for this volume.And there is no shortage of stars whose hopes and fears are represented, which is of little surprise given the abundance of talent that has emerged from the theatre in its time - a list too long to write here, resulting in the recording of a changing shape of theatre across the age. This is best illustrated, quite literally, by the myriad of fine-quality photographs, diagrams, sketches and biographies which illuminate almost every page. These materials support the many achievements of this famous building and its many ensembles, writers, directors and producers and further emphasize the Playhouse's place in Liverpool's cultural heritage.If there is one problem with the work, however, it lies in the fact the impact the theatre has had on its audiences is a little understated, for its influence has indeed been immense. True, those who have been inspired to act, write or indeed hold any of the positions a successful theatre demands in order to run for a hundred years feature extensively. However, those who pay to watch what is being performed seem to have been almost entirely overlooked, which is a great shame, given that without an audience even the greatest production is rendered superfluous.This said, however, Liverpool Playhouse: A Theatre & Its City remains a fine and important work that should be enjoyed by experts and enthusiasts alike.

Synopsis
From its outset, the Liverpool Playhouse has been inextricably linked to the history of the city in which it was built. The impetus to create it came from the burgeoning civic pride engendered by the city's growing wealth and its status as 'second city of empire'; but its opening in 1911 was delayed by the transport strikes which hit the city. Over the following century, the history of the theatre, with all its ups and its downs, has reflected the history of Liverpool - and at times the city itself has appeared on stage as a key character. While often perceived as Liverpool's 'safe' theatre, the Playhouse - from its inception as only the third repertory theatre in the country (following Manchester and Glasgow) to the dazzlingly creative period of the 'Gang of Four' (Bleasdale, Bond, Morrison and Russell) in the early 1980s, and up to the present day - has broken new ground and issued new challenges. Home over the years to many well known actors, including Michael Redgrave, Rachel Kempson, Robert Donat, Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, Rita Tushingham, Patricia Routledge and Richard Briers, the Playhouse remains one of the most vibrant British theatres.
