Everything about The Liverpool Playhouse totally explained
The
Liverpool Playhouse is a
theatre in
Williamson Square in the city of
Liverpool,
England.
Although a concert room had existed on the site since approximately 1844, the
Grade II* listed theatre seen today was built in
1866, when it was the
Star Music Hall. Changing ownership and name to Star Theatre of Varieties and then Star Theatre it became the home to Liverpool
Repertory Theatre Company, which was established in
1911, and disbanded in
1999. The name was changed to The Playhouse in 1917. Among actors in the company were
Robert Donat,
Michael Redgrave,
Alex Atkinson,
Anthony Hopkins,
John Thaw and
Ian McKellen. During the
Second World War it was home to the
Old Vic. The theatre was briefly closed in the late
nineties, but reopened in 2000 under the management of Liverpool and Merseyside Theatres Trust who also run its sister theatre, the Everyman. The Playhouse has become the venue for numerous acclaimed new productions mainly of old plays, in contrast to the
Everyman Theatre, which has focused on new works.
In September 2003,
Gemma Bodinetz (artistic director) and
Deborah Aydon (executive director) took over the running of the Playhouse and the
Everyman Theatre.
