Do you live in Liverpool? Do you want to play your part in the telling of the story of LFC’s legendary manager, Bill Shankly? Then the Royal Court is looking for you.
Liverpool’s Royal Court is looking for people to be part of a Community Company who will perform as part of a major new show taking place in Spring 2025.
The show is an adaptation of David Peace’s novel Red Or Dead which tells the story of Bill Shankly, the legendary manager of Liverpool Football Club with actor Peter Mullan playing the role. The theatre is looking for community actors to play a pivotal role in the show, with some singing and acting. No experience is necessary, interest in football is a bonus, but not essential.
Director Phillip Breen says the show, and the callout, is an opportunity for people to be part of a project that brings the city together.
He said:
“While this is a story about an historic chapter in Liverpool, we want it to illustrate the city of NOW. A passion for theatre and the performing arts is useful but not essential, but no experience is necessary. An interest in football is useful but not essential. We’re looking for people from every walk of life, every background, every community, from very young to very old and every point in between, every footballing persuasion (especially including Evertonians!). Don’t worry if you have no experience – we will have a programme of rehearsals to prepare you. We want this to be an exciting and supportive group. The only thing we want is for people to come and get stuck in.”
