Following a season of work that has transferred to London and toured the UK, including The Misanthrope, A Day in The Death of Joe Egg and The Match Box, Liverpool Playhouse leads on world premières and creative collaboration this autumn.
Melody Loses Her Mojo, a vibrant new work by Keith Saha produced in collaboration with 20 Stories High and Leicester Curve, will be followed by a major new adaptation of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment by Chris Hannan—a co-production with Glasgow’s Citizen's and Edinburgh’s Lyceum theatres—and Daniel Matthew’s debut play, Scrappers.
Artistic Director Gemma Bodinetz said: “The Playhouse will deliver a rich cocktail of extraordinary versions of classic plays and exhilarating world premières in both the main house and the Studio.”
Everyword also returns in October with a full week of events, rehearsed readings and workshops with some of the leading lights in new writing from around the country. Scrappers is just the latest in a long line of plays which have begun at Everyword.
