The Legend of Barry White

The only UK touring show dedicated to the maestro and legend, Barry White.

Direct from the USA, a critically acclaimed revue starring the incredible vocalist William Hicks also known as “the big man with the big voice”

100 million records sold, 20 gold and 10 platinum singles – the world loves Barry White and Barry White loved the world.

You’re the First, the Last, My Everything; Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe; You See the Trouble with Me; Never, Never Gonna Give You Up; Just the Way You Are; What Am I Gonna Do With You and, of course, Let the Music Play… you’re never more than a song away from another million-selling hit.

Hailing from Atlanta Georgia, William’s mesmerising stage presence effortlessly recreates the distinctive style and silky-smooth bass-baritone vocals of the three-time Grammy Award-winner.

Joined on stage by his live band, Soul Unlimited and support by the stunning Motown Supreme Dreamgirls – with incredible attention to detail, this show has really “got it together” with William coming “as close to the real man himself as is possible.”

“William’s vocal and deliverance is phenomenal, and this show is simply stunning” Eddie Holland (Motown Legendary Songwriter Holland-Dozier-Holland)

Nana Funk’s Christmas Party

Now a staple of the festive season Downstairs at the Everyman presents a Christmas party not to be missed.

Join her for an evening of chats, songs and laughing. It’ll be like Wogan, if Wogan was a Nana with a questionable hip and mysterious past. And that’s not all! There will, of course, be some very special guests…to be announced nearer the time. This is one not to be missed.

An Absurdist Play Set On A Boat

A passenger wakes up on a ship with no idea who they are or where they are going. Their seemingly simple quest for answers becomes increasingly difficult as they discover that no one else on the boat knows where they are going either, but they don’t seem to care. A serious comedy, Unity are delighted to be collaborating on this R&D. A Work in progress sharing

Absurdist Theatre Workshop

Alongside the Work In Progress sharing of his new play ‘An Absurdist Play Set on A Boat’, Liam will be delivering a workshop exploring absurdism in theatre.

In this workshop we will delve deeper into the use of non-narrative theatre. ‘An Absurdist Play Set on A Boat’ was written to have no traditional structure and contains no direct message or meaning, making it completely open to interpretation. We will explore the text and absurdism in general looking at how one play can encompass a wide range of interpretations that reflect many voices from diverse backgrounds. It will also be a chance to chat to Liam about his process throughout the R&D of his play.

The workshop will be delivered by Liam D. Gillies and Alice Bunker Whitney.

Please let us know in advance if you have any specific access requirements we can support you with.

Maurice and Hermia a migrant married couple make their home in the UK.

Maurice is very proud of working as a care worker in an elderly care-home. Hermia, instead, struggles with motherhood and caring for their two-year-old alone but has found a friend in Darya, a woman in her late 70s, a resident of the care home also a migrant. When during a period of global crisis Maurice is forced to choose between his family and having to live in the care home where he works, he tries to keep his marriage and the relationship with his two-year old son afloat.

Four years later, with further restrictions looming for migrant care workers, Maurice and Hermia take stock of their life choices.

A passionate play about a family, and their choices during a global crisis inspired by real life testimonies voices the human stories behind migration when the world is against them.
