The Tent Up in the top of the glass lantern extension of The Playhouse Theatre, The Tent is being raised for Everyword. Open at noon each day, this is the hub of the festival.

This is where the thinking and reading and talking and drinking will happen (probably in that order). Where all the best ideas are imagined. This is where you’ll find a gramophone, some questionable records, a pack of playing cards, and lots and lots of coffee. The bar’s open – we’ll see you there.

EVERYDAY | EVERYONE

THE INCIDENT ROOM Up the stairs and behind the curtain, you will find The Incident Room: a sound installation of short audio plays and other fragments, written by the next generation of Liverpool playwrights.
