[©Astor Theatre, Liverpool] The lineup for the 2018 Liverpool International Theatre Festival is as diverse as the home countries of the performers.

A dozen theatre troupes from the Central African Republic, Egypt, Mexico, Nepal, Iran,China, Argentina, Wales, Peru, Bangladesh and Liverpool, Nova Scotia, are expected to participate in this year’s festival from Oct. 18 to 21 [2018] at the historic Astor Theatre in Liverpool. The plays cover a wide range of themes and styles, from a Chinese opera and a study of corruption and loss in Mexico to a Moliere classic from one of Bangladesh’s top theatre companies and more personal plays about family, friendship and identity from Nepal, Iran and from Liverpool’s Winds of Change Dramatic Society. (A brief description of each play is included below.)

Andrew Bursey and Jon Paterson, the festival’s artistic directors, unveiled the lineup on Thursday. Jean Robinson-Dexter, chairperson of LITF 2018, says that audiences will be entertained by the eclectic slate of innovative theatre.

“The 2018 festival is going to be a wonderful mix of new troupes representing countries that haven’t been with us before and old friends from troupes that we’re excited to welcome back. All of them will bring exciting pieces of theatre to our stage.”
