EVERYMAN

£23 - £10

Manfred Karge’s Man to Man tells the story of Ella; a woman forced to adopt the identity of her dead husband in order to survive in Nazi Germany.

Compromising her own identity for survival, Ella is plunged into a new masculine world of beer, schnapps and poker; a claustrophobic existence dominated by the fear of discovery and the changing face of authority in a volatile twentieth century Germany.

This sell-out hit from the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival comes to Liverpool ahead of transferring to New York.

"This is extraordinary: a seamless fusion of performance, direction, technical elements and text that is as magical as it is hard-hitting, and as life-affirming as it is depressing."
