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.
