warnmcr: bang or whimper..?


This murky 5th of November seems strangely fitting for an even murkier world of political sleaze - no irony that the row is burning fiercely on this day commemorating attempted sedition... Meanwhile in the world of performance:

IRL:
This weekend, at Contact, Ergon Theatre's The Wicked Game and at HOME, Antler's Civilisation continue until Sat 6 Nov.

In Liverpool at Homotopia, Harry Clayton-Wright hosts You Otter Know tonight, Fri 5 Nov and there's An Evening with David Hoyle on Sat 6 Nov; while Candoco's Double Bill is at Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Leeds, also on Sat 6 Nov; while the Enable US Festival is ongoing in Sheffield.

Next week, w/c 8 Nov, HOME has Remi Adam's You, Us & Them on Tue 9 + Wed 10 Nov and Ugly Bucket's Good Grief (11-13 Nov); and the Lowry has I M Pact's Resilience on Wed 10 Nov, New Art Club's Cupid's Revenge on Fri 12 Nov and Imitating the Dog's Dracula:  on Fri 12 + Sat 13 Nov.

The following week, w/c 15 Nov, seems to be a quiet one, but you can see Susanna Amato at HOME and Year of the Rat in St Helens plus the last couple of Manchester Independents new commissions.
