The Park Theatre presents the world premiere of this tale of love, hope and revenge set against the vicious backdrop of a lawless society.

Based on the short story by Dorothy M Johnson, and adapted and directed by Jethro Compton, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance takes audiences on a journey to the Wild West in 1890.

It tells the story of a young scholar from New York who arrives on the dusty streets of Twotrees beaten and half-dead after leaving the Big Apple in search of a new life. Rescued from the plains, he falls in love with a local girl, which gives him a purpose in an otherwise broken land. But is it enough to save him from the vicious outlaw who wants him dead?

A classic story of good versus evil, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance was made famous in a 1962 film starring James Stewart and John Wayne.
