The School of Night – Liverpool Improvisation Festival 2025
Saturday 26th April
8.00pm
Twenty years ago The School of Night made its first appearance, at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. Sixteen years ago it made its Liverpool debut at the legendary MelloMello cafe. Since then, its unique blend of literary improvisation has been seen all over the UK (National Theatre, British Library, Hay, Latitude and Edinburgh festivals) and beyond (in the US, Malaysia and all over Europe) as well as appearing on many radio shows, including BBC Radio’s The Verb. They are delighted to be back in Liverpool to perform new works by Shakespeare and others, summoned from thin air! Imagine if making stuff up was just more fun than writing it down…

‘Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn’t try it on.’
