Red and Black

The Spanish Civil War inspired art like no other, leaving a powerful legacy of poetry, painting, music and film. Red and Black vividly depicts how Liverpool responded.


This ambitious production features over 100 dancers, actors, musicians, community drama performers and facilitators, who took the audience out on to the streets to tell this moving account of Liverpool’s history.
