Liverpool New Season Liverpool's Everyman and Playhouse Theatres have announced their productions for the second quarter of 2009. As already announced, Les Dennis will star in a production of JB Priestley's When We Are Married, directed by Ian Brown of West Yorkshire Playhouse which will co-produce, alongside Polly Hemingway, Paul Bown, Gabrielle Lloyd, Graham Turner, Tricia Kelly, Tom Georgeson and Jodie McNee. This will run at the Playhouse starting at the end of April. The Everyman opens with the world premiere of Lost Monsters by Laurence Wilson, directed by Matt Wilde, set in an isolated house in a forgotten valley where a flash of lightning and a freak car crash leave three runaways stranded. Popular Liverpool poet Roger McGough has written a new adaptation of Molière's The Hypochondriac for the Playhouse, which will be directed by Gemma Bodinetz and co-produced by English Touring Theatre. Later in the year, Jonathan Pryce will star as Davies in Harold Pinter's The Caretaker at the Everyman in October Lawrence Till's adaptation of Kes, based on Barry Hines's book A Kestrel for a Knave, will be at the Playhouse and the Everyman Christmas production will be a rock 'n' roll Dick Whittington created by the usual team of Mark Chatterton and Sarah Nixon.
