Jonathan Pryce is set to star in Pinter play The Caretaker this autumn as part of the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse’s 2009 season.
Pryce will take on the role of Davies in the revival directed by Christopher Morahan, which will run at the Everyman from October 2 to 31.
Commenting on the role, Pryce said: “Before his death last year Harold had given his blessing for this production in Liverpool. He knew how much the Everyman meant to me and was hoping to come and see it. Well that won’t be, but we will try and honour a great man in a great theatre.”
Other season highlights include the transfer of the West Yorkshire Playhouse’s production of JB Priestley comedy When We Were Married, starring Les Dennis and Jodie McNee, and an adaptation of Moliere’s The Hypochondriac by Liverpool poet laureate Roger McGough, which will be directed by Everyman and Playhouse artistic director Gemma Bodinez in a co-production with English Touring Theatre.
The Everyman will host the world premiere of Laurence Wilson’s new work Lost Monsters - Wilson’s second play produced at the venue, following 2004 show Urban Legend - and the Playhouse will present Tony Award-winner Garry Hynes’s production of The Playboy of the Western World.
