So
cholcolate-overeating-weekend has been and gone, and hopefully with it
the hailstorms. We at Word of Warning are trying not to be too foolish
and are heralding the real spring with the resonant embrace of Verity Standen's HUG at the Whitworth (Thu 7 Apr). Whilst it's currently a real hot ticket and fully booked, keep checking our bookings page - or you can catch it on Fri 8 + Sat 9 Apr at the Harris Museum, Preston courtesy of our partners, Derelict.
This weekend FutureEverything is in full swing; or, tonight, check out Short&Sweet's Fool (1 Apr) at Victoria Baths; or gird your loins and pad your buttocks for a marathon run of Quarantine's Quartet: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring (2+3 April) at the Old Granada Studios.
Next week, if you haven't manage to grab a Manchester HUG ticket, Sale Waterside has Chloe Dechery's A Duet Without You, also on Thu 7 April; or make your way up to Preston as Derelict springs into action (7-16 April), with a series of special one-offs starting with HUG on Fri 8 + Sat 9 April.
The following week (w/c 11 April), Derelict continues with Glen Neath + David Rosenberg's Séance (11-16 April); and rounds off the week with the unique gastronomic experience of Zuppa Theatre's Pop Up Love Party on Fri 15 + Sat 16 April, and The Larks' Join Me on Sat 16 April.
Over the hills in Sheffield, also check out the Wrought Festival of one-to-ones on 15-17 April.
In the meantime, there are one or two last minute opportunities for singers to get involved in HUG in Preston and Manchester - have a look here for the details (not an April fool!)
