THE Liverpool Everyman Theatre will take its acclaimed production of The Caretaker on a tour of the US and Australia next year.

Hollywood actor Jonathan Pryce will return to the lead role of Davies when Harold Pinter’s classic visits the US and Australia in spring.

The play will feature at the Adelaide Festival before going to San Francisco’s Curran Theatre and the Southern Theatre in Columbus, Ohio.

The tour will culminate with a two-month run at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music, where it will follow Kevin Spacey’s Richard III.

Deborah Aydon, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse executive director, said: “We’re very excited. It’s wonderful to be taking our work to a global audience.”

It will be the same production that impressed critics at the Everyman in 2009, with Christopher Morahan directing.

However, casting for the play’s two supporting roles have yet to be announced.
