Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse aim to spread their cultural name beyond the city region with a series of major collaborations.
Working with Shakespeare’s Globe to mark the Bard’s 400th anniversary year, the theatres will co-produce The Two Gentlemen of Verona, which tours nationally and internationally before dates at the Everyman.
Alumnus Jonathan Pryce leads the cast of The Globe’s Merchant of Venice at the Playhouse ahead of a world tour. The theatres will also co-produce Frank McGuinness’s Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme with Headlong, Abbey Theatre, Dublin and Citizens Theatre, Glasgow at the Playhouse in June ahead of a national tour.
