A TWO-YEAR delay in the restoration of one of Liverpool’s best-loved theatres is threatening its chances of being open in time for Capital of Culture year. more
YET another scheme which was due to be ready in time for Capital of Culture year has become bogged down in delays and recriminations. more
Doom and gloom for the Echo.

After the Playhouse the Neptune is the second oldest 'working' theatre in Liverpool.
It opened in 1915 as the Crane Hall, and was designed by W Aubrey Thomas, the architect of the Royal Liver Building.
Crane's specialised in selling pianos.
