So with the bank holiday looming and seemingly threatening fine weather, the last thing you may want to do is sit in a black box - but if you do...
This weekend: Rash Dash's Three Sisters is at the Royal Exchange Theatre (til 19 May); while Sh!t Theatre's DollyWould is at HOME (until Sat 5 May); or over in Bradford Gameshow's Dancing Bear, Dancing Bear is at Bradford Theatre in the Mill tonight Fri 4 May. And, if you really want a big weekend outing, GIFT Festival is on in Gateshead (Fri 4 - Sun 6 May - though check before you set out as their online box office seems to say everything is sold out).

Next (w/c 7 May) is looking a bit on the quiet side but there's the LAUNCH 2018 graduand platform at Manchester College's Waterside Theatre on Wed 9 May; or Lucy Suggate + Conor Schumacher's OK Future is at the Bluecoat, Liverpool on Thu 10 May. You can also head to Leeds where Live Art Bistro has Sh!t Theatre's DollyWould (courtesy of WYP) on Fri 11 + Sat 12 May, followed on Saturday by JUICEBOX feat Mykki Blanco + David Hoyle; and Slung Low's HUB has Cheryl Martin's Who Wants To Live Forever on Sun 13 May.
The following week (w/c 14 May) things pick up pace with a vengeance. The Lowry's Week 53 Festival kicks off with Fat Roland, Night Walks with Teenagers, MADHOUSE: Re-exit; Joseph Toonga + Grace Surman - and Swan Lake. Further afield there's Running Dog Theatre in Crewe; and Christopher Brett Bailey in Bradford.
And, without the slightest glimmer of bias, *the* place to be will be with Word of Warning for Works Ahead 2018 in STUN Studio at Z-arts (17+18 May)!
Have a nice bank holiday!
