Everyman Theatre

Everyman Theatre

 

ARTS & CULTURE Case Study

Everyman Theatre

To overcome a decaying but much-loved theatre that was no longer fit for its intended purpose, the Liverpool Theatres Trust commenced a series of feasibility studies to determine the likelihood of replacing the Everyman Theatre with a new larger and modern facility whilst retaining the charm and character of the original building.

This project would take some 10 years from concept through to completion but has resulted in a modern theatre facility housed within an iconic prize-winning building.
