The Everyman Theatre stood at the north end of Hope Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Established in 1964 in a former cinema, it encouraged local talent and played a part in the development of new artistes and writers. The theatre was rebuilt between 1975 and 1977, and was closed again and demolished for complete rebuilding in 2011. It is planned to re-open the new theatre in 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words everyman and/or theatre:
“O Death! thou comest when I had thee least in mind!”
—Unknown. Everyman (l. 119)
“As in a theatre the eyes of men,
After a well-graced actor leaves the stage,
Are idly bent on him that enters next,
Thinking his prattle to be tedious,
Even so, or with much more contempt, men’s eyes
Did scowl on gentle Richard.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
