The spirit of an Everyman for Everyone is expressed on the new Liverpool theatre’s façade.
Life-size portraits of the city’s men, women and children will become aluminium shutters to create a Portrait Wall.
Last year the Everyman and Playhouse invited people to take part in a photography project.
Designed by architect Steve Tompkins, this large-scale artwork is a expression of the fact that the Everyman is and always will be for everyone. Photo sessions were held at venues across the city and many hundreds came along to take part.
Designed by leading theatre architects, Haworth Tompkins, the new Everyman will combine the trademark wrap-around auditorium and basement bistro with many new facilities.
Light, open front-of-house spaces and a pavement café; rehearsal and workshop facilities; a dedicated space for the theatre’s work with young people and community groups, and a workspace for writers will allow the whole building to be a creative hub, by day and night.
