Fri 25 Jan to Sat 16 Feb 2008

Everyman

 

One family. One home. Too many dreams.

 

Hope Street, Liverpool 1946.

A year after the sudden death of their father, sisters Gertie, May and Rita Lasky share their once grand home on Hope Street with their Asthmatic brother Arnold, Auntie Biel and old family friend Dr Nate Weinberg.

Within the house life is a comforting hive of familiar activity, but outside their city is shattered. And now a new sister-in-law is moving in. The world is changing and the sisters have to find their place in it.

Sometimes moving, sometimes funny, this is the world premiere of a vibrant new version of Chekhov’s Classic drama commissioned to open the theatres 2008 programme.
