Everything about The Everyman Theatre totally explained
The
Everyman Theatre is a
theatre located on
Hope Street in
Liverpool,
United Kingdom. It was established in
1964, to perform works of relevance to the inhabitants of Liverpool.
The front was rebuilt to disguise Hope Hall, a building that was a cinema and had been a chapel before that. From the back the origins of the building can clearly be seen. More of the original cellars can been seen in the Bistro below. The church was originally built in 1837 and was later closed in 1853, when it was turned into a concert hall. In 1912 the hall was converted into the Hope Hall cinema, which lasted until 1959. It was opened again in 1961,as the Everyman Theatre showing a range of classical films including Walt Disney’s Fantasia and Pollyanna, whilst a programme of stage plays etc. were organised. It was then substantially rebuilt in 1977 - in some considerable degree through the efforts of
Alan Durband and General Manager John Gardner, who acted as fundraisers. During the 1970s the Theatre enjoyed a celebrated period with
Willy Russell writing a number of plays for the Everyman including the Beatles-inspired musical
John, Paul, George and...Bert and
Shirley Valentine. Actors who started their careers at the Everyman included
Jonathan Pryce,
Bill Nighy,
Pete Postlethwaite and
Julie Walters.
In September 2003,
Gemma Bodinetz (artistic director) and
Deborah Aydon (executive director) took over the running of the Everyman and its sister theatre, the
Liverpool Playhouse.
