As
we pass the equinox and officially enter astronomical spring, the
fleeting burst of sunshine has brought out the usual display of pasty
shirtless bodies, regardless of actual temperature....
This weekend if you're looking for something a bit different and for all ages: Ray Bubbles' A Bubble Variety Show is at Z-arts on Fri 21 Mar (last seen at Social Experiment); or there's A Puppet Musical at the Birch Community Centre on Sat 22 Mar.
Further afield, Sheffield Theatres have Dibby Theatre's Toxic on Fri 21 Mar and Daniel Bye's Imaginary Friends on Sat 22 Mar.
In Leeds, Maya & Toussaint's An Evening with OKAN is at Yorkshire Dance and Worklight Theatre's It's the Economy, Stupid! is at The Carriageworks both on Fri 21 Mar.
In Liverpool, at the Unity, DaDaFest has Midgitte Bardot's Shooting from Below on Fri 21 Mar and Not Your Circus Dog's Not F**ckin' Sorry on Sat 22 Mar; and at the Bluecoat Dora Colquhoun's Would You Like A Seat on Sat 22 and Rage Reactor on Sat 22 + Sun 23 Mar.
Next week (w/c 24 Mar) Worklight Theatre's It's The Economy, Stupid! is at HOME on Thu 28 + Fri 28 Mar; and Emergence's Triple Bill is at the New Adelphi Theare on Fri 28 + Sat 29 Mar.
It's all go for Scratch Nights: with one at Shakespeare North on Tue 25 Mar and another at Parr Hall, Warrington on Thu 27 Mar. Verve's Triple Bill is at Lancaster Arts on Tue 25 Mar; Dibby Theatre's Toxic is at the Unity, Liverpool on Thu 27 Mar. On Fri 28 Mar, Sam Danson's Bi-Topia is at the Carriageworks, Leeds; while Daniel Bye's Imaginary Friends is at Chester Storyhouse; and DaDaFest has the Eat Me cabaret at District in Liverpool. Intriguingly, on Sun 30 Mar, the student-run FlockFest is at the Riley Theatre, Leeds promising a festival of "live art and performance".
The following week (w/c 31 Mar) for us at Word of Warning it's all about Turn 2025 on Fri 4 April. Before that Lowry has Georgia Tegou's Homecoming on Tue 1 April and MarikisCryCryCry's Goner on Wed 2 Apr.
Either my webtrawling is failing me or everywhere beyond Mancunia is very quiet - unless you go as far as Glasgow for Buzzcut (1-3 Apr).
Keep checking our News + Information page for more pointers to opportunities and show videos online, and @WarnMcr on Twitter (X if you must) for short-notice performances - and click here if you want to apply to perform at the next Social Experiment.
