Word of Warning — Weekly Warning

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!

HAPHAZARD 2017
A free day out for the curious of all ages with an April Fool's twist.

So, in this mixed up world, after a week of snow and woolly balaclava knitting, it's apparently now officially meteorological Spring..!  This weekend is a touch quiet but you can still catch Paul Auster's City of Glass (4-10 Mar) or further afield, Liz Rothschild's Outside the Box is at the LBT, Huddersfield on Fri 3 Mar - or you might want to use it to take a deep breath as...

...next week (w/c 6 Mar) is a whole other matter:
In Mancunia  SICK! Festival (8-25 Mar) kicks off with Hiraeth on Wed 8 Mar in Longsight (featuring Afreena Islam, Toni Dee Paul + Jamil Keating). It continues at the Whitworth with French Mottershead's Afterlife (various dates) and Bernadette Russell's Do Nice, Be Kind, Spread Happy on Sat 11 Mar; and at the Lowry, with Liz Agiss's Slap + Tickle on Thu 9 Mar, Ridiculusmus's Give Me Your Love on Fri 10 + Sat 11 Mar and Sophie Willan's On Record on Sun 12 Mar.  Beyond SICK! Sale Waterside has Matthews + Burtin's Best of Both Worlds on Fri 10 Mar.

In Liverpool LEAP 2017 (1-12 Mar) continues at the Unity Theatre, including Stop Gap Theatre's The Enormous Room on Mon 6 Mar;  Mary Pearson's FoMO MOFOs on Wed 8 Mar; Hetain Patel's American Man on Thu 9 Mar and Project O's Voodoo on Sat 11 Mar. 
Also in Liverpool, Reckless Sleepers' Negative Space is at the Capstone Theatre on Mon 6 Mar.
In Ormskirk, Edge Hill has Liz Agiss's Slap + Tickle on Tue 7 Mar (also part of LEAP) and Katy Baird's Workshy on Thu 9 Mar; while Bradford Theatre in the Mill has Sophie Willan's On Record on Fri 10 Mar.    

The following week (w/c 13 Mar) there's no let-up: SICK! continues including Claire Cunningham, TheatreClub, Daniel Hellmann,  Negrophobia and Lucas de Man. Elsewhere Mary Pearson is at Edge Hill; Milk's Joan is at the LBT, Huddersfield; Eurohouse is at the HUB, Leeds; and Lydia Cottrell is at Bradford Theatre in the Mill.  Of course, what you won't want to miss amidst all that is Word of Warning's next outing - our first to the Royal Exchange with the tour de force that is Nic Green's Cock and Bull.

HAPHAZARD 2017
A free day out for the curious of all ages with an April Fool's twist.

My ears are still ringing from last night's otherworldly experience of FK Alexander becoming Judy Garland under the watchful eye of Andy Warhol at the Whitworth.  Unbelievably and quite fittingly, that was Word of Warning's 80th event and today is the fifth anniversary of our first ever public outing!

Back in the real world, the next couple of weeks activity seems a bit spread out:

This weekend sees the final epic Prince-celebratory blast of Queer Contact; while Jackie Hagan's Jumble Soul (wip) continues at Sale Waterside tonight, Fri 17 Feb; and Adam Pownall's Getting Better Slowly is also at the at the HUB, Leeds on Sun 19 Feb.

Next week (w/c 20 Feb) Lancaster Arts has Matthews + Burtin' The Best of Both Worlds  on Tue 21 Feb and a double bill of wips from Paper People Theatre + Theatre 42 on Wed 22 Feb; while on Thu 23 Feb Axis, Crewe has Michael Pinchbeck's Concerto.  Looking east, on Sat 25 Feb Theatre in the Mill, Bradford has Lauren Silver's Surprise and in Leeds, Live Art Bistro has Rachael Young's OUT; then on Sun 26 Feb the HUB has Daniel Bye's Safe House.

The following week (w/c 27 Feb) Axis, Crewe has Kieran Hurley and Proto-type Theater, who also join WoW at The Lowry; Liz Rothschild is at the LBT, Huddersfield and Paul Auster is at HOME.

I'm off to let last night's shenanigans fully sink in - have a good weekend!

HAPHAZARD 2017
A free day out for the curious of all ages with an April Fool's twist.

Blinking and just a bit bleary after a whistlestop trip to Bristol for IBT17 and an overnight drive, I can't quite believe that it's Friday all over again...

This weekend, tonight Fri 10 Feb, sees the opening of Queer Contact 2017; with Trans Creative and Le Gateau Chocolat's Black (both on Fri 10 + Sat 11 Feb); plus up in Preston there's Glen Neath + David Rosenberg Fiction on Sat 11 Feb at the Media Factory, Preston.

Next week (w/c 13 Feb) in parts Mancunian, Queer Contact keeps up the pace: on 14-16 Feb there's Milk's Joan; plus, there's a real crescendo on Thu 16 Feb with David Hoyle's Diamond and, of course (the biggie for us) is FK Alexander's (I Could Go On Singing) Over The Rainbow alongside a certain iconic pop art show at the Whitworth (6-9pm). 

Elsewhere Jackie Hagan's Jumble Soul (wip) is at Sale Waterside on Thu 16 and Fri 17 Feb; while further afield, Edge Hill University has a bumper week with Reckless Sleepers' Negative Space on Mon 13 + Tue 14 Feb; and Jamie Wood's Oh No! on Thu 16 Feb. Adam Pownall's Getting Better Slowly is also at the LBT, Huddersfield on Tue 14 Feb and at the HUB, Leeds on Sun 19 Feb.

The following week (w/c 20 Feb) Lancaster Arts has Matthews + Burtin and Theatre 42 + Paper People Theatre;  Axis, Crewe has Michael Pinchbeck; Theatre in the Mill has Lauren Silver; and in Leeds, Rachael Young is at Live Art Bistro and Daniel Bye is at The HUB.

Looking forward to seeing lots of you, somewhere over the rainbow...

A free day out for the curious of all ages with an April Fool's twist.

Unbelievably, that's pretty much it for January. Thanks to Massive Owl, Word of Warning is up and running for the year and the time for post-festive-hibernation is well and truly behind us...

This weekend PUSH concludes with Debs Gatenby's A Place Called Happiness and (the hÅb/STUN/Divergency supported) Cheryl Martin's Who Wants To Live Forever - both tonight Fri 27 and tomorrow Sat 28 Jan.  Meanwhile, over in Leeds Matt Allen's Real is at Live Art Bistro, Leeds on Sun 29 Jan.

The following week (w/c 6 Feb) more venues get going in earnest: there's Mark Thomas at the Lowry; Made in China in Preston; Wendy Houstoun at Edge Hill University; Ridiculsumus at Axis, Crewe plus the start of Queer Contact 2017. Added to all that, the travelling livearterati will be high-tailing it to Bristol for In Between Time.

For all those in the final throes of NPO - I share your pain - we too are counting the minutes to PUSH THE BUTTON.  See you on the other side!

So, as January marches terrifyingly onwards, TV schedules fill with dystopian Twilight Zone futures, and some of us can no longer see the wood for the NPOs, this weekend PUSH continues at HOME with Mighty Heart's Now Is The Moment We Learn Hope on Sat 21 + Sun 22 Jan, while we'll be heading to the Royal Exchange for Project O's O on Sat 21 Jan.

Next week (w/c 23 Jan) of course sees the start of WoW's Spring - with Massive Owl's Castle Rock at the Lowry. It's pay what you decide and booking *very fast*, so act fast to pre-book your place!

HAPHAZARD 2017
A free day out for the curious of all ages with an April Fool's twist.

The icy fingers of January are firmly gripped around us now, though mercifully with a 13 degree leap in internal temperature the dress code in the WoW office has now moved from sheepskin and woolly knits to Hawaiian shirts and flip-flops... (do they even do those in black?)

In the awakening world of the performative, this weekend you can catch Sohail Khan's O.P.L.A at Live Art Bistro in Leeds (tonight Fri 13 Jan). The main event in parts Mancunian is the beginning of HOME's PUSH Festival (14-28 Jan  - download schedule here).  Performances kick off on Sun 15 Jan with Louise Wallwein's The Island, The Sea, The Volunteer, The Refugee (repeated 18,19 +21 Jan).

Next week (w/c 16 Jan) PUSH continues with Powder Keg's Morale Is High (Since We Gave Up Hope) (16-18 Jan); From The Mill Theatre's I'm Standing Next To You (Mon 16 + Tue 17 Jan) and Mighty Heart's Now Is The Moment We Learn Hope on Sat 21 + Sun 22 Jan.  Meanwhile, possibly in more directly WoW style, Project O's O is at the Royal Exchange on Sat 21 Jan.
Elsewhere, in Liverpool at the Brink, Psychology Fringe on Wed 18 Jan sees an evening featuring Josh Coates, Henry Maybury and Ridiculusmus; while for the theatrically-minded Bowie fan, From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads is at The Met, Bury 0n Thu 19 Jan and at Slung Low's HUB, Leeds on Sun 22 Jan.  

The following week (w/c 23 Jan) sees the conclusion of PUSH with Debs Gatenby and Cheryl Martin; and over in Leeds Matt Allen is at Live Art Bistro, Leeds. 
The place to be however (with no hint of self-promotion) is at the Lowry on Wed 25 Jan for the launch of Word of Warning's Spring Programme with Massive Owl's Castle Rock - it's pay what you decide but do make sure to pre-book your place!

HAPHAZARD 2017
A free day out for the curious of all ages with an April Fool's twist.

So as we shiver our way into 2017, things that we have learned to date in the baltic, 10º WoW office: knitting is your best friend and the temperature rises 2º for every extra body added. Nevertheless we are keeping warm by gearing up for another year of performative shenanigans which will see us host our 80th event...

Word of Warning's Spring 2017 kicks off on 25 Jan with a peculiarly David Lynch twist on an 80's classic; continuing in Feb with a warholian take on the ultimate torch song. In March we blow the whistle and lift the skirt of politics - then cap it all off with an April Fool of small-people proportions.

Before all that, THIS weekend, unusually in this normal January bastion of panto, the rest of the world is starting to wake up, with the Royal Exchange stealing a march on all the rest.  So if you're feeling performance starved, check out Daniel Bye's Going Viral at the Royal Exchange, tonight Fri 6 + tomorrow Sat 7 Jan.

Next week (w/c 9 Jan) not wanting to be left behind, HOME is also getting a move on with the PUSH Festival (14-28 Jan), though you might also want to pop across to Live Art Bistro in Leeds for Sohail Khan's O.P.L.A on Fri 13 Jan.

The following week (w/c 16 Jan) is mainly PUSH-dominated, though the Royal Exchange also has Project O or, further afield, Josh Coates is in Liverpool.  Alternatively for the theatrically-minded Bowie fan, From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads is at The Met, Bury and the HUB, Leeds.

To end, sadly, on a personal note, all of us at WoW were deeply shocked and saddened by the death of Deyika Nzeribe, Co-Chair of our partner, STUN. He will be sorely missed, read STUN’s tribute here.
