Liverpool Everyman Theatre

Everyman Theatre
Liverpool Everyman / Philip Vile

Liverpool Everyman is twinned with the Liverpool Playhouse in Williamson Square: together, the two theatres make up a major force in the city’s thespian scene. The Everyman reopened in March 2014 after extensive renovation to its stage, restaurant and backstage areas; the newly opened version is sustainable, accessible and really rather swish.

Inclusiveness runs through the new design – its frontage, dominated by a new “portrait wall”, shows 105 different Liverpool residents, cut into a metal façade.

The Everyman’s offering is an exciting mix of contemporary theatre and experimental storytelling. The performances range from well-known plays which never fail to get mainstream attention to more intimate affairs directed by local creatives or open mic nights dedicated to poetry.

Local community representation and engagement is the foundation of the Everyman’s programme of activities. Young Everyman Playhouse (YEP), a youth arts programme, supports creatives under 25 in exploring and developing their talents. YEP works with creative young people from any background: budding actors, writers, directors, technicians and storytellers to gain the skills and qualifications, and find opportunities in the creative industries. There is also an Artist in Residence at the theatre, which allows one artist to work at the venue for six months. In the process they have the chance to really get to know the place, and the people who work there as well as access to rehearsals to produce work which is then displayed in the designated exhibition space.

Everyman’s performances are accessible whenever possible – they provide Audio Described, BSL interpreted, Captioned, Dementia Friendly and Relaxed performances at both theatres.

Downstairs you’ll find a lovely, relaxed café serving sweet treats and fresh lunches with hot and cold daily specials.
