Tickets are on sale now! EpsteinTheatre
A new production of Masquerade – a play telling a powerful and emotional tale set in an iconic Liverpool gay club in the 1980s – is coming to the city's Epstein Theatre this autumn.
The play tells a fictional story based around the now-demolished 'iconic' Cases Street venue, affectionately known as The Mazzie, which was frequented at the time by famous faces including Holly Johnson, Paul O'Grady, Paul Rutherford, and Margi Clarke. A synopsis of the play reads: "Mike loves Tony . He's his best mate. To be confident, outgoing, and open is a big deal in a city like Liverpool in 1986, especially during the Aids crisis.
Writer Laura Lees said: "I was aware that my uncle Mark had been a DJ in the club when he was younger so I asked him about it, at which point he opened up and gave me an insight into The Masquerade. I instantly fell in love with its story and wanted to know everything there was to know about it. While doing the research, I found that most people were happy to reminisce because it was such a wonderful time in their lives.
