| Description | The Everyman Theatre papers is an active collection consisting of the posters, programmes, scripts, photographs, performance reports, press cuttings, letters, and other records associated with the Liverpool theatre from its establishment in 1964 until present day. Of particular note includes: photographs of well-known actors and figures associated with the theatre such as Pete Postlethwaite and Jonathan Pryce; unpublished scripts by Willy Russell; interviews with key figures covering the full range of theatrical professions and every phase of the theatre's history. |
| AdminHistory | The Everyman Theatre was established in 1964 and has since been widely recognised as a pivotal influence and innovative key player in regional theatre. A model of innovative practice and a centre for experimental theatre and new writing, it has thrived as a nurturing ground for a new breed of directors, actors, writers and designers, and a leading force in young people's theatre. Much of the work of the theatre has also been consistently rooted in its home city of Liverpool, making the archive also an important basis for social history. |
| CustodialHistory | The majority of this collection was deposited with LJMU Special Collections & Achives in 2004, after which an AHRC funded project commenced to catalogue the collection and produce a following conference. This collection is active and we regularly take new deposits from the Liverpool Everyman Theatre. |
