The Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse Theatres have this week announced part two of their 2009 season.
The highlight of the spring/summer season is another Moliere adaption by Liverpool poet Roger McGough. This follows on from the success of 2008's season where McGough adapted Tartuffe, to very big houses and critical success. The Hypochondriac, which is directed by Everyman and Playhouse Artistic Director Gemma Bodinez will run from mid June to mid July before touring the country in Autumn.
Part Two will be opened by J.B. Priestley's classic comedy, When We Are Married. The production stars Les Dennis and runs at the Playhouse for three and a half weeks from 30th April. The production is co-produced with The West Yorkshire Playhouse, and is directed by Ian Brown.
Another highlight of the season will be the Laurence Wilson play, Lost Monsters. Receiving its World premiere at the Everyman, and directed by Matt Wilde, the production runs from 22nd May.
The season also includes a one night only performance by Chris Addison at the Everyman as part of Liverpools comedy week, a touring production of "The Moon The Moon", a heartbreakingly optimistic new play from Unlimited theatre at the Everyman, and a touring production of The Playboy of the Western World at the Playhouse.
And the Everyman's season will end in traditional style with the Everyword festival which is for anyone who has an interest in writing for theatre, seeing a new play in development, or for anyone who has a genuine interest on how shows are formed.
The autumn season, which will be fully announced in due course, will be highlighted by the return of Jonathon Pryce to the Everyman, in the Pinter classic "The Caretaker".
Looks like a pretty good season to me!
