Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse plans an autumn season featuring three ambitious new productions.
Juno and the Paycock, Sex and the Three Day Week and Bright Phoenix are created to reflect the theatres’ desire to be daring and create plays that connect the theatrical inventors of the present and future to the heartbeat of the city.
Artistic Director Gemma Bodinetz said: “Having the Everyman back has reminded us of the joys of a rich and eclectic season across both theatres, infused with the heartbeat of the city and brought to life by extraordinary ensembles of actors and artists.
"This coming season, the in-house productions at both theatres celebrate full blooded theatricality, from the rich tragi-comedy of one of the masterpieces of Irish theatre, through Liverpool magic realism with songs, a classic French farce reinvented and relocated and of course our many splendoured rock n’ roll panto.
"It’s a season that we hope reflects the idiosyncrasy, politics, wit and passion of Liverpool whilst celebrating the universal magic and power of self-conscious theatricality.”
