warnmcr: not a load of bull...



As the first glimmers of Spring see the Chancellor's icy fingers (or maybe cold feet) grapple with the self-employed, it seems fitting that we at WoW should be moving into political mode for our next outing - our first to the Royal Exchange - with the blisteringly beautiful political battering ram that is Nic Green's Cock and Bull (16-18 April).

But before that this weekend, tonight (Fri 10 Mar) you can catch Matthews + Burtin's Best of Both Worlds at Sale Waterside; while SICK! Festival is up and running: at the Whitworth with French Mottershead's Afterlife (various dates) and Bernadette Russell's Do Nice, Be Kind, Spread Happy (Sat 11 Mar); and at the Lowry with Ridiculusmus's Give Me Your Love on Fri 10 + Sat 11 Mar and Sophie Willan's On Record on Sun 12 Mar.

Further afield, to the east, Bradford Theatre in the Mill also has Sophie Willan's On Record, tonight Fri 10 Mar; Harrogate Theatres have Eurohouse on Fri 10 + Sat 11 Mar (the HUB show on Sunday is now sold-out); while in Leeds Paula Varjack's Show Me The Money is at Live Art Bistro on Sat 11 Mar. To the west, LEAP 2017 has Project O's Voodoo at Make Liverpool (c/o Unity) on Sat 11 Mar.

Next week (w/c 13 Mar)  WoW joins forces with the the Royal Exchange for Nic Green's Cock and Bull on Thu 16 - Sat 18 Mar.  It's selling very fast so don't delay!
Meanwhile SICK! continues: on Wed 15 + Fri 17 Mar at The Lowry with Claire Cunningham's Guide Gods; on Wed 15 Mar at Contact with TheatreClub's The Game + Daniel Hellmann's Traumboy; and on Sat 18 Mar at STUN Studio at Z-arts with Jaamil Olawale Kosoko's Negrophobia and at HOME Lucas de Man's De Man in Europe.
Elsewhere Mary Pearson's FoMO, mofos! is at Edge Hill on Tue 14 Mar; and Lydia Cottrell's Atlantis is at Bradford Theatre in the Mill on Sat 18 Mar.

The following week (w/c 20 Mar) SICK! enters its final week with Zvizdal, Robert Softly, Hiraeth, Michael Essien and Milo Rau. Elsewhere things slow a little though Gracefool Collective are at The Met, Bury; and in Leeds, Catherine Hoffman is at Live Art Bistro and Matthew Floyd Jones is at the HUB.

Hope to see all you hard-working people at the Exchange!

best
