Fun Palace at the Everyman

On Saturday October 4, the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool will take part in a nationwide initiative in tribute to theatre director Joan Littlewood, to mark what would have been her 100th birthday, by transforming itself into a Fun Palace.

The Hope Street venue will break down the barrier between the audience and artists with a series of interactive activities involving the best of Liverpool’s local artists, including Sense of Sound choir, Young Everyman Playhouse Designers and contributions from local writers.

The Fun Palace was conceived by Littlewood and architect Cedric Price in 1961 as a new kind of cultural space where theatre buildings would cease to be intimidating edifices and where cultural experiences, both high and low, were possible.
