Get Ready with Me (A Clown Show)

Sat 22 May 2021

Live broadcast from the Everyman

£5

Are you ready for life after lockdown?
Neither is Lauren.

Join everyone's favourite jolly-anxious clown Lauren Silver as we live-stream her preparations for re-entering the social sphere in this interactive, incredibly positive, and utterly stupid show.

Coming to you live from Liverpool, Lauren invites you to get ready with her for a messy new reality with no rules, no masks and, in her case, absolutely no control. Look, it's been a year, and frankly, she's going to need all the help she can get...

Get Ready with Me (A Clown Show) is a work in progress presented by PlayWell in association with New Works Studio. Supported Studio is made possible by the Granada Foundation.

This show will be performed live in the empty Everyman, with ticket capacity limited to that of the Everyman. Audiences will be emailed a link to view the live stream from home.

"I am so excited to be coming home to my favourite theatre and have this opportunity to work with this team to create such a fun and playful show! In all the buzz of theatres and social spaces reopening, it felt important to make space to focus on supporting audiences who'll harbour those tentative anxieties that will be sure to come with the lockdown easing, and this is a marvellously silly way to do it". Lauren Silver
