Dateline: 3rd November, 2004
Star-Studded Liverpool Gala The 40th Birthday celebrations are not over yet for the Everyman Theatre. On Sunday 21st November, the Everyman is delighted to host a star-studded Gala which will be a fundraising event for the Life Begins Fund for new Liverpool writing. Old friends of the theatre will be returning to the Everyman for a celebration of all that has made it a leading theatrical force, a Liverpool original and a national treasure. The Everyman has been the launchpad and spiritual home for a huge range of theatrical greats, and those returning for the Gala include Julie Walters, Anthony Sher, Bill Nighy, Matthew Kelly and Jonathan Pryce. The theatre's original founders; seminal Liverpool playwrights Willy Russell and Alan Bleasdale; great one-off's such as Ken Campbell and Bill Drummond, and musicians including Ian McCulloch and Pete Wylie will also be coming home for this unique evening. Deborah Aydon, Executive Director, said, "All season, we have been celebrating the Everyman's past and present, but also, and most importantly, building for the future. The Life Begins Fund will allow us to commission two new Liverpool playwrights each year in the run-up to 2008, making a tangible investment in new talent and nurturing new work for the Everyman stage. This event alone has the potential to raise over £20,000 towards this Fund." Initial bookings are by invitation only, but a limited number of tickets, each priced £40, will be released for sale on Monday 15th November.
