Everyman Theatre

Founded in 1964 in the appropriately named Hope Hall, in an area of Liverpool noted for its bohemian environment and political edge, the Everyman quickly built a reputation for ground-breaking work and became the crucible for an astonishing range of theatrical talent. Julie Walters, Bernard Hill, Pete Postlethwaite, Antony Sher, Bill Nighy, Alan Bleasdale, Willy Russell, Jonathan Pryce, Barbara Dickson, Matthew Kelly, Cathy Tyson, David Morrissey, Stephen Graham, several McGanns, and the Liverpool Poets all considered the Everyman a formative home in their early years.

In 1999, Liverpool’s Everyman and Playhouse theatres were joined together in a new organisation created to take the city’s producing theatre forward for the new century. Since 2004, the theatres have been on a remarkable journey, described as “a theatrical renaissance on Merseyside” (The Observer) with over 20 world premières, the majority by Liverpool writers.
