Gemma Bodinetz And Deborah Aydon Reveal New Season Of Shows And The Opening Dates Of The New Everyman Theatre.

It seems that time in some respects has gone by so slowly. The age between the final performance of Macbeth and the heralding of a new era of the Everyman Theatre has been two long years. However, as the highly respected theatre duo of Gemma Bodinetz and Deborah Aydon beamed around the room, the light, metaphorically and in reality is almost ready to be switched on and the welcome back to The Everyman Theatre will be long and cheerful.

Albert and Harold Steptoe, national comedy legends that were bought to B.B.C. television by the incredible writing of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, two men bound to each other through blood, despair, apathy and a small measure of distant attachment. No one could have predicted how much the two men would change the television viewing habits of the nation as they settled down each week to watch the Steptoe and Son.
