Everyman Theatre

About

The Everyman Theatre, standing proudly on Liverpool’s Hope Street, has been a hub of creativity and social commentary since its founding in 1964 in the converted Hope Hall. Known for its bold, politically engaged productions and commitment to new writing, it has launched the careers of actors such as Julie Walters, Pete Postlethwaite, and Jonathan Pryce. Rebuilt between 2011 and 2014, the award‑winning Haworth Tompkins design blends striking modern architecture with a warm, community‑focused atmosphere, earning the RIBA Stirling Prize. With an intimate 400‑seat auditorium, a lively street‑level café bar, and a programme ranging from contemporary drama to its legendary rock ’n’ roll pantomime, the Everyman remains a cultural landmark. It continues to champion local voices while welcoming world‑class talent, offering audiences theatre that is as thought‑provoking as it is entertaining.
