The Everyman Theatre
Regent Street
Cheltenham
GL50 1HQ

Box Office: 01242 5725

The Opera House in Cheltenham’s Regent Street opened on 1st October 1891 with a performance of Lady Clancarty starring Lillie Langtry. The theatre was designed by one of the greatest theatre architects of all times, Frank Matcham, who designed nearly 200 theatres in Great Britain including the London Palladium. Over the next seventy years The Opera House was to play host to some of the greatest names in British theatre and variety.

The theatre survived imminent closure in 1959 to rise from the ashes as the re-named Everyman Theatre in 1960. For the next 35 years it was the home of repertory, nurturing such talents as Steven Berkoff, Josephine Tewson, William Gaunt and Penelope Keith.

When the rep ended in 1995 the theatre reverted to being a venue for touring shows and has presented some of the best pre and post West End plays and musicals ever since.

★★★★☆ The play will be familiar to many, having been staged with some regularity since 1992 and with a BBC adaptation aired in 2010. But for those not in the know, A Passionate Woman concerns Betty, (Liza Godd...

LABELS at Everyman Studio, Cheltenham

labels
By Graham Wyles
Mr Sellman-Leava has in mind the corrosive nature of the tiny cuts, malicious or simply thoughtless, which flow from the labels we apply to ourselves and to others . . . Too agreeable to be a polemic, the overall impress...

POLITICALLY INCORRECT at the Everyman Studio, Cheltenham

WiB Slider
By Michael Hasted
★★★★☆ Two actors, a spectre, a handful of characters, a few bits of saggy curtains, an old theatrical skip, a bentwood chair, a clothes rail and a lot of dust – but those are not the important ingredients. ...

BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY at the Everyman, Cheltenham

17 January, 2017
By Fenton Coulthurst
★★★★☆ This is a well-known and popular show but any reviewer must meet Buddy on its own terms. It isn’t a complex analytical take on the meteoric rise of a musical icon. This is a light-hearted biopic design...

This year’s panto, Jack and the Beanstalk, is the current one of the rotating cycle of five titles which the Everyman produces and is much better than the previous one in 2011. What I like about Phil Clark’s pantomim...

The real star of the show was the production itself. The concept, direction and, above all, the design, were outstanding and of the very highest quality. This is a production that would grace any stage in the land and is...

BARD HEADS at the Everyman Studio, Cheltenham

Finding the Will, with their Bard Heads strand, have come up with a clever idea for their raison d’être – they take a Shakespeare character who, in a monologue one-act play, reveals their back-story and tells what h...

NIGHT MUST FALL at the Everyman, Cheltenham

‘Night Must Fall’ Tour
By Michael Hasted
Night Must Fall is, in some respects, similar to the last show I saw at the Everyman, When We Are Married. Both are very English plays written by established stalwarts of the British stage, both written in the mid-1930s ...

The eccentric English aristocrat has become almost a cliché. We seem to expect, hope even, that our hereditary lords and masters are a bit barmy. Too much money, too much time on their hands, a lifetime of being indulge...
