It's nearly that time of the year again when some of the Northwest's finest new writers and performers get together at The Lantern Theatre as part of Liverpool's only Fringe Theatre Festival.

The Shiny New Festival 2014 also promises to return with a brand new selection of cutting edge dramas being announced soon.
The subject matter in previous years has left audiences enlightened, surprised and even shocked at times, as Shiny New claims not to be scared of taking risks.
Bruise By John Maguire, which debuted in 2012's Shiny New Festival, touched on the controversial and taboo subject of gay domestic violence. The dark drama became a surprise hit receiving a standing ovation on both nights with its moving performance from Anthony Proctor.
Overall, festival organiser, Peter Mitchell and The Lantern Theatre aim to provide Liverpool a taste of The Edinburgh Festival vibe.
Peter insists that,
"Fringe is where all good theatre starts. By putting on this festival each year we are making people more aware of shows and writers that they might not of heard of before. We don't always have big names but we don't charge an arm and a leg for our tickets. With the amazing support of our new and loyal audiences and the up and coming stars who perform at the festival, we always manage to put on incredible and unforgettable shows."
The Shiny New Festival 2014 at The Lantern Theatre Blundell Street is on from 14th - 20th July.
Discounted Multi show passes will be available again this year.
