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.

Foolish friends and kinsmen, that fair spake—
All fleeth save Good Deeds, and that am I.”
