Hope Place By Michael Wynne, Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh Specially commissioned for the opening season of the Everyman, acclaimed playwright Michael Wynne returns to Liverpool with a story of myths, memories and secrets. Rattling around in a house on Hope Place, Maggie searches for the truth within a sea of family folklore.
Sat 8 Mar to Sat 5 Apr
Twelfth Night By William Shakespeare, Directed by Gemma Bodinetz
Sat 21 Jun to Sat 12 Jul
The new Everyman springs to life with Shakespeare’s anarchic tale of love, loss and transformation. A wave crashes onto the shores of Illyria, bringing with it new life, fresh love and a whole heap of complications and possibilities that suggest nothing will ever be the same again.
Dead Dog in a Suitcase
(and other Love Songs)
A New Beggar’s Opera. Written by Carl Grose, Music by Charles Hazlewood, Directed by Mike Shepherd
Thu 27 Mar to Sat 19 Apr
Our first Everyman collaboration is with the irrepressible Kneehigh on a radical new version of John Gay’s musical satire, The Beggar’s Opera. Bursting with wit, wonder and weirdness, an extraordinary Kneehigh cast of actor musicians shoot, hoot and shimmy their way through this twisted morality tale of our times.
A View from the Bridge
Wed 9 Jul to Sat 2 Aug
Betty Blue Eyes
By Arthur Miller, Directed by Charlotte Gwinner
Originally produced in London by Cameron Mackintosh Book by Ron Cowen & Daniel Lipman, Music and Lyrics by George Stiles & Anthony Drewe, Based on the handmade film A Private Function, Adapted from the Screenplay by Alan Bennett, Directed by Daniel Buckroyd.
On the waterfront, Eddie Carbone is working hard and keeping his head down. But times are changing and Eddie’s losing his grip. Arthur Miller’s devastating portrait of an ordinary man in a clash of cultures, of generations and of moral duty.
In post war austerity Britain, Gilbert and his wife Joyce look forward to the social event of year, a rations-busting illegal pork roast. But when the invitation doesn’t materialise they take matters into their own hands. A feel-good musical treat based on Alan Bennett’s film A Private Function.
