Everyman and Playhouse New Season The new season at Liverpool's Everyman and Playhouse Theatres features as its main attraction a new production of A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams directed by artistic director Gemma Bodinetz starring Amanda Drew as Blanche, Sam Troughton as Stanley and Leanne Best as Stella. Alan Ayckbourn's trilogy of plays The Norman Conquests—consisting of Table Manners, Living Together and Round And Round The Garden—will be directed by Philip Wilson, and there will be opportunities to see all three plays in one day. There will be a co-production with Shakespeare's Globe on Shakespeare's Henry V directed by Globe artistic director Dominic Dromgoole which will open its national tour at the Playhouse and end at the Globe in June. Visiting productions include Vivienne Franzmann's Bruntwood Prize-winning Mogadishu from the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester and Lyric Hammersmith, Spymonkey's Oedipussy written by Kneehigh's Carle Grosse, the Bristol Old Vic production of Swallows and Amazons based on the books by Arthur Ransome and Shared Experience with Helen Edmundson's new play Mary Shelley. Contemporary dance company Phoenix Dance Theatre will return for two performances of Crossing Points. Everyman and Playhouse productions from recent seasons are continuing to do well elsewhere, as Lizzie Nunnery's The Swallowing Dark has been nominated for five Offie Awards following its transfer to London. Graham Linehan's adaptation of the classic Ealing comedy The Ladykillers has just opened at the Gielgud Theatre in London, David Morrissey's performance as Macbeth has just been released as a video download by Digital Theatre and Jonathan Pryce will reprise his role in Pinter's The Caretaker for a world tour.
