Continuing the six-week re-opening extravaganza will be Mischief Theatre’s award-winning international smash hit comedy The Play That Goes Wrong. The global phenomenon, guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter, returns to the Everyman from 20th July – 1 st August, following two previous sell-out runs.
Talking about the first of many announcements for the new season, Mark Goucher, Chief Executive of the Everyman Theatre said: “We have all had a very tough 12 months. The theatre has been closed for more than a year and our staff have been desperate to return to the building and help me bring shows and audiences back.
“We need your support to help rebuild our business and enable us to provide Gloucestershire with the best shows available. This first announcement is fantastic for us and we hope to see everyone at the Everyman very soon.”
