warnmcr: a right royal domestic drama...


So here we are, very nearly a year on and still in our homes. The so-called roadmap won't meander us back to in person performance til May at the earliest, so if you want a break from the Windsor soap opera, online it is.

Word of Warning's latest Domestic takes to your screens next Wednesday 10 Mar: medication and make-up, crossed wires and chromatophilia, prestidigitation and everyday fantasy hotline... all from our homes to yours. Featuring Eleanor May Blackburn, Pelican Theatre, Tom Cassani, TomYumSim, Vân Bùi and hosted by Peader Kirk. 

Elsewhere, tonight Fri 5 Mar, The Lowry is showing Protein's May Contain Food with live Q&A; plus there's An Absurdist Archive of Isolation (5-7 Mar).
Sun 7 Mar is the last chance for Stacy Makishi's Church of the Latter Day Sinners. One-offs inlcude a european tip on Sun 7 Mar: Milo Rau's La Reprise: Histoire du Théâtre (7pm GMT); and Indoors Too Much's Learning to Swim on an Ironing Board on Fri 12 Mar via Contact.
Longer running: Liverpool Everyman + Playhouse has Petrichor 8-14 Mar; MIF has Dream 12-20 Mar plus there's Wayne Steven Jackson's From Me to Us  (15-21 Mar).
At the end of the month, Malandra Jacks Arty Farty is on Thu 25 Mar, via MIF; and Bert & Nasi's Hello on Fri 26 Mar via The Lowry. Yorkshire Dance has RE:FRESH dance platform (24-27 Mar), including 4 sharings (scroll down to 24 Mar); while The Met, Bury has Lip Service'sChâteau Ghoul on 31 Mar + 1 Apr.

Possible real world outings worth keeping an eye on remain C-O-N-T-A-C-T on Salford Quays via The Lowry; plus Liverpool Biennial kicks off on 20 Mar - and we are possibly allowed to travel from 29 Mar, unfortunately not soon enough for those of us in Manchester to see ZU-UK's Pick Me Up and Hold Me Tight (19-28 Mar) as part of Compass Festival in Leeds. 

Ongoing there's The Way Out from Battersea Arts Centre, Digital Stage from Sadlers Wells plus online content from HOME (including, as part of PUSH, Superhero Alter Ego) and MIF. There's also Graeae's Crips Without Constraints including Leanna Benjamin's The Gift directed by Cheryl Martin (until 23 May); and Still House In The Letting Go or you can replay last year's Shedinburgh.
