New Season on sale now
22nd March 2010
Our new 2010 Season Part Two is now on sale. Highlights include a new version by Howard Brenton of Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, a visit from Simon Callow with his new show The Man From Stratford, and Edinburgh Festival hit Chronicles of Long Kesh.
At the Everyman in June is Howard Brenton’s glorious new stage adaptation of Robert Tressell’s famous novel, THE RAGGED TROUSERED PHILANTHROPISTS - a story that has changed countless lives and remains as vivid and as relevant as when it was written almost a century ago. Christopher Morahan returns after the success of The Caretaker to direct a large ensemble in a production filled with energy, humour, passion and music. This co-production with Chichester Festival Theatre opens at the Everyman before going to Chichester in July.
In May, EVERYWORD, the Everyman’s annual new writing festival, returns for two weeks with a programme that includes: workshops from David Eldridge and Paines Plough; rehearsed readings of new work by Robert Farquhar, Laurence Wilson and Kellie Smith; and collaborations with curators Almanac Folk and Nabokov Theatre.
The theatres continue to bring some of the best and most innovative theatre companies and performers from around the country to Liverpool. In April, Green Shoot Productions present CHRONICLES OF LONG KESH, Martin Lynch’s hilarious, painful and shocking story of Northern Ireland’s infamous prison, told through the eyes of the people who have been there, which was a stand-out production at last year’s Edinburgh Festival. In May, Daniel Kitson makes a welcome return to the Everyman with his funny, sad and truly nostalgic new ‘storyshow’ 66a CHURCH ROAD. Later in May, Sound & Fury’s KURSK written in collaboration with Bryony Lavery and inspired by the Russian submarine disaster of August 2000, will transform the Everyman stage and audience experience to invoke the life of submariners, fathoms below the icy seas.
During May at the Playhouse, esteemed actor Simon Callow is a one-man magical tour-de-force in his brand new show THE MAN FROM STRATFORD: Being Shakespeare.
At the end of June, Slung Low, one of the most innovative theatre companies in the UK today and Fuse: New Theatre for Young People present SMALL WORLDS, an interactive installation for young people, combining live performance, music, and digital projection, which again, following Kursk, will give a different audience experience with a journey through a series of rooms on the Playhouse stage.
For Christmas at the Everyman the wonderful world of the rock and roll panto returns with SLEEPING BEAUTY another large slice of Christmas pudding-sized fun and frolics for all the family by ace writing team Sarah Nixon and Mark Chatterton.
