PLANS for the opening of The Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot have taken another positive step forward as Knowsley Council’s Cabinet has confirmed the formal appointment of the Shakespeare North Trust as operator of this landmark venue.
To mark this latest milestone, an updated image of how The Playhouse will look, when complete, has also been released.
A meeting of the Council’s Cabinet considered a report outlining the ‘intense scrutiny’ of the Trust’s business plan and operational readiness to oversee the successful management of The Playhouse when it opens to the public next year.
This decision effectively now paves the way for The Playhouse to make the transition in the coming 12 months from being a major construction project into a fully operational arts venue.
