Thanks to QCCR for sharing our news! https://www.qccrfm.com//liverpool-international-theatre-/

***SOME NEWS FROM US!*** Because of the ongoing uncertainty around the Covid vaccine rollout, and travel restrictions, and because we want to help keep our communities safe, we have decided to move the festival which had been planned for this October to May 12-15, 2022. All of the troupes scheduled to attend this year's festival have been invited to LITF 2022. If any of them is unable to travel next year, they will gain an immediate invitation for the following festival plan...ned for October 2023. As one of our artistic directors, Vic Mills, says: "We will be back next year, with stronger bonds than ever! We can't wait to see you in Liverpool in 2022! Take care, everybody.

Happy St David’s Day to all our friends at Liverpool and around the world from Vic and Neil, and all your friends in Wales!

Just wanted to share this lovely image of Sighnaghi - the beautiful home of our friends from Georgia!!

All listeners to our podcast will have met the lovely Hajar from Casablanca and our Moroccan theatre troupe for the coming festival. Hajar told us all about her upcoming trip to Finland where she is going as an intern as part of her Business degree. The cold has come as a shock after life in North Africa. Here she is in Helsinki, en route to her work. Good luck from us all at LITF!!

From the LITF Team, we wish you peace, good health, and all the best for the holiday season!

Thanks to Kevin and LighthouseNow for sharing what’s happening with LITF.

Lovely to get this comment today on Season 1 of ‘The Offstage Cast’ from the leader of our visiting company for 2021 from Uganda: ‘A brilliant finale for such an informative season of podcasts. I now know a lot more about the LITF and every podcast I listened to reinforced my belief in the power of theatre. Thank you to the Off Stage Cast for these amazing podcasts that have brought us together despite all the challenges 2020 came with.’ Mugisha Polycarp Thanks for that, Poly!
