The world première tour of A Day of Pleasure, a new play adapted by The Useful Donkey Theatre Company, based on Isaac Bashevis Singer’s award-winning book, will debut at Liverpool’s Playhouse Studio.
Performed by Everyman founding company member Stuart Richman, it will run from September 26-28.
The evening before he travels to Stockholm to collect the Nobel Prize for Literature, Singer—a Polish-born, Jewish-American author and passionate storyteller—recalls a fascinating childhood full of mystery, torment and adventure.
This is the first show of a season in The Studio, which includes Scrappers in November, the debut play by Everyman Playhouse Young Writers graduate Daniel Matthew. The Studio has quickly become a hotbed for new work since it reopened in 2011, with past successes including Frank McGuinness’s The Match Box and Joe Ward Munrow’s Held.
