So,
in this mixed up world, after a week of snow and woolly balaclava
knitting, it's apparently now officially meteorological Spring..! This
weekend is a touch quiet but you can still catch Paul Auster's City of Glass (4-10 Mar) or further afield, Liz Rothschild's Outside the Box is at the LBT, Huddersfield on Fri 3 Mar - or you might want to use it to take a deep breath as...
...next week (w/c 6 Mar) is a whole other matter:
In Mancunia SICK! Festival (8-25 Mar) kicks off with Hiraeth on Wed 8 Mar in Longsight (featuring Afreena Islam, Toni Dee Paul + Jamil Keating). It continues at the Whitworth with French Mottershead's Afterlife (various dates) and Bernadette Russell's Do Nice, Be Kind, Spread Happy on Sat 11 Mar; and at the Lowry, with Liz Agiss's Slap + Tickle on Thu 9 Mar, Ridiculusmus's Give Me Your Love on Fri 10 + Sat 11 Mar and Sophie Willan's On Record on Sun 12 Mar. Beyond SICK! Sale Waterside has Matthews + Burtin's Best of Both Worlds on Fri 10 Mar.
In Liverpool LEAP 2017 (1-12 Mar) continues at the Unity Theatre, including Stop Gap Theatre's The Enormous Room on Mon 6 Mar; Mary Pearson's FoMO MOFOs on Wed 8 Mar; Hetain Patel's American Man on Thu 9 Mar and Project O's Voodoo on Sat 11 Mar.
Also in Liverpool, Reckless Sleepers' Negative Space is at the Capstone Theatre on Mon 6 Mar.
In Ormskirk, Edge Hill has Liz Agiss's Slap + Tickle on Tue 7 Mar (also part of LEAP) and Katy Baird's Workshy on Thu 9 Mar; while Bradford Theatre in the Mill has Sophie Willan's On Record on Fri 10 Mar.
The following week (w/c 13 Mar) there's no let-up: SICK! continues including Claire Cunningham, TheatreClub, Daniel Hellmann, Negrophobia and Lucas de Man. Elsewhere Mary Pearson is at Edge Hill; Milk's Joan is at the LBT, Huddersfield; Eurohouse is at the HUB, Leeds; and Lydia Cottrell is at Bradford Theatre in the Mill. Of course, what you won't want to miss amidst all that is Word of Warning's next outing - our first to the Royal Exchange with the tour de force that is Nic Green's Cock and Bull.
