free backstage tours of Liverpool's Everyman
EVERYMAN bosses are inviting people to have a look behind the scenes at the theatre.
The free tours and drop-in sessions will run once a week until September 3.
Each backstage tour will also be followed by a short presentation of the plans for the new multi-million pound theatre which will be built on the Hope Street site.
The Everyman and Playhouse and architects Haworth Tompkins have already consulted with audiences, youth groups, drama teachers, community and access forums, writers, actors, alumni, corporate members and Everyman Bistro bosses about the proposed plans.
They include a 400-seat auditorium, community, rehearsal and office spaces and a pavement café, theatre bar and basement bistro.
Work is expected to begin on site in spring next year and the new, 21st-century Everyman to open in 2013.
The tours will give visitors the chance to tread in the footsteps of the likes of Everyman alumni such as Pete Postlethwaite, Jonathan Pryce and Julie Walters, and experience the theatre from the perspective of those who have worked in it during its 46 years.
Places are free but limited to 15 people per tour and can be booked via the Everyman and Playhouse box office on 0151-709 4776 or www.everymanplayhouse.com where full details and times can be found.

Really interesting tour and great to hear about the plans for the new Everyman building. Well worth going to see behind the scenes before it gets knocked down.
