Cherry Jezebel continues to wow audiences at the Everyman Theatre

It’s the show everybody is talking about and in our opinion it’s a must-see. Cherry Jezebel is on at the Everyman Theatre until Saturday 26 March. Writer Jonathan Larkin told The Guide Liverpool “I call it queer Liverpool with its knickers down. It’s rude and raucous and funny, we’ve got lots of Scouse house classics in there, but hopefully people will come away having learnt a little something as well about what it’s actually like to be queer in Liverpool in 2022.”
