Family Fun For Easter At Everyman Theatre

Charlotte's Web tells the story of Charlotte, the amazing talking spider who uses her extraordinary writing talent to save her friend, the young pig Wilbur. A magical and funny play with a happy ending and a few sad moments, Charlotte's Web is the perfect show for 5 to 11 year-olds – and mums, dads and grandparents too!

Made into a hugely successful film in 2006, Charlotte's Web was written by E.B. White, who also penned children's favourite Stuart Little. This stage adaptation is brought to Liverpool by Watershed Productions, one of Britain's foremost producers of theatre for young people who were responsible for the recent productions of Jacqueline Wilson's Midnight and The Suitcase Kid.

The Doubtful Guestis the latest production from Everyman favourites Hoipolloi (The Impostor, Floating) and continues their reputation for creating bizarre and whimsical productions. When an uninvited and strangely fantastical creature finds its way into a very normal household, its pure existence wreaks havoc. As it challenges their strict routines and descends the family into chaos, they search desperately for ways of dealing with the peculiar behaviour of their doubtful guest.

Funny, chaotic and surreal, The Doubtful Guest is a new adaptation of a short story by Edward Gorey for those aged 8 and up. A prolific writer and eccentric misfit, Gorey's work has most notably influenced director Tim Burton who drew inspiration from the illustrations for his The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride. -- www.everymanplayhouse.com
