Liverpool Playhouse, Victorian theatre in Williamson Square, Liverpool, England.
The Liverpool Playhouse features traditional architectural elements with a Grecian-style facade and modern extensions made of concrete and glass.
The building opened in 1866 as a music hall before transforming into a repertory theatre in 1911, becoming the first British company to own its venue.
The theatre has launched careers of numerous performers, including Michael Redgrave, Rex Harrison, Richard Burton, and Anthony Hopkins throughout its operation.
The venue presents regular productions of classical plays, musicals, and pantomimes, with performances scheduled throughout the year in its main auditorium.
Stanley Adshead designed the modernized auditorium and basement foyer during renovations after the repertory company acquired the building in the early 1900s.
