From Monday 20th May limited edition prints of the poster will be on sale with all profits going towards the ‘Everyone for the Everyman’ appeal. Mike McCartney said, “This poster of Scaffold at the Everyman in 1966 (on my birthday!) was painted on by my big (cheeky!) elder brother when we all had….time! It was later signed by me and our kid (a RARE occurrence!) to raise money for the Hope Hall…oops!..Everyman Theatre, where I started my career with ‘The Liverpool One Fat Lady Non-Electric show’, which became…Scaffold.”
