Everyman and Playhouse New Season Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse Theatres begin the new year with an adaptation by Steven Berkoff, who also directs, of Oedipus by Sophocles, co-produced by Nottingham Playhouse and running at the Liverpool Playhouse. The Everyman opens the year with a new comedy by Robert Farquhar Dead Heavy Fantastic, originally performed as a rehearsed reading at Everyword in May, set in Liverpool on a Friday night and directed by Matt Wilde. Writer Jeremy Dyson returns to the Playhouse after last year's Ghost Stories with his adaptation of Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales—promising "tales of psychopathic childhood nemeses, slyly threatening landladies and savage and sadistic gambling games"—directed by Polly Findlay. Visiting productions include Daniel Kitson's The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church, Jonathan Lloyd's adaptation of Lauren Child's popular picture book and children's TV characters in Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play, another children's picture book favourite from Tall Stories with The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, a devised piece about the Women's Land Army, Lillies on the Land, created by The Lions Part, Laurence Wilson's Tiny Volcanoes from Paines Plough, more Paines Plough with Mike Bartlett's acclaimed Love, Love, Love, Hull Truck's production of Alan Bennett's The Lady in the Van starring Nichola McAuliffe and Richard Bean's The Big Fellah from Out of Joint. For dance fans, Henri Oguike Dance Company returns with its Butterfly Dreaming Tour and Phoenix Dance Theatre brings its latest mixed bill Reflected. Public booking opened for the whole season on 1 December.
