Photographs by Ant Clausen.
THE increasingly popular theatrical
Catacombs tours of St George's Hall Liverpool return this September, with brand
new stories in the next instalment of:- 'The Catacombs Of Liverpool's Darkest
History'. This is the 5th series of tours which follows hugely successful
sell out that ran in March and June 2015.
The new tours will run from Monday, 28 September to Sunday, 4 October 2015, with
4 tours each
evening at 6.00pm, 6.45pm, 7.30pm and 8.15pm. Tickets are priced at £15 per
person. But please note that capaCity is just 40 people per tour!
Back by popular demand, the tours explore the most chilling and infamous of
crimes from Liverpool's dark past, with the shocking tales recreated within the
cells and catacombs of Liverpool's most celebrated and historic building.
St Georges Hall can be aptly described as a capsule for Liverpool's history;
whilst the rich and influential enjoyed the grandeur and opulence that the Great
Hall had to offer, there existed a harsher reality in the cells below. Men,
women and children crammed into tiny stifled cells awaiting their punishment.
Nowhere in the City could you find a more relevant space to animate some of the
darkest elements of Liverpool's criminal past.
Theatrical company Lovehistory who produce the Catacomb series, can promise that
these new promenade tours will be the most compelling to date consisting of
powerful theatrical performances that will undoubtedly move their audience.
The promenade performances will lead the audience into the dark cells below
where those waiting to be condemned would spend their final moments. In the dark
shadows of Liverpool's history, visitors will encounter the characters and
witness a series of thought provoking and expertly choreographed scenes of
Liverpool murders, torment and cruelty. Behind every dark corner lies a hidden
story which will be exposed.
LoveHistory can reveal the first of the new
stories to be featured in this new series of tours. Hear the heinous tale of the
1931 murder of Julia Wallace, one of the most baffling crimes to ever hit
Liverpool.
After a mysterious caller sent Julia's husband, William Herbert Wallace, on a
wild goose chase looking for a street that didn't exist he returned to find his
wife brutally slain in their own home. A sensational trial followed and William
came within inches of being executed for his wife's murder however the lack of
evidence spared him. This was only the start of the story however as the
inexplicable aspects of the case that saved William's life continues to intrigue
amateur sleuths to this day.
This tale of murder and mystery will be expertly recreated along with other
shocking stories which will be announced in due course, by a team of
professional actors who will leave audiences spines tingling as they discover
the gruesome details of the innocent victims, the not so innocent perpetrators
of these vicious crimes and those who carried out the sentence of the court,
the executioner.
Judy McLean, Creative Director of Lovehistory, said:- "We at Lovehistory
are all very excited to return to St George's Hall, in September, with a 5th
series of Catacomb Tours. We have had thousands attend these tours and what has
been the most pleasing for us has been people's reaction to the stories we tell
and how we tell them. These shows always seem to exceed people's expectations
due to the quality of the production. It's a fantastic building and so relevant
to history of the City."
'The Catacombs Of Liverpool's Darkest
History' promises to be the most haunting
and gripping tour to date. Tickets are just £15 and can be purchase in person at TicketQuarter, Queen Square, Liverpool,
