What
a difference a week makes - from snowstorm to heatwave in less than 7
days. Seasonal discombobulation continues and while Hulme Park is
blazing (albeit rather mottled today), in the icy wilds of the Word of
Warning office where the sun never shines, we are still huddled round a
candle in mittens and sheepskin slippers!
This weekend you can still catch Week 53 Festival's sited Dante or Die's Handle with Care (til 8 May) and 2 Magpies' Last Resort (Fri 6 + Sat 7 May); Volcano Theatre's Century Song (6-8 May) and Robbie Synge's Douglas (Sat 7 May) plus Rimini Protokoll's 100% Salford (Sat 7 + Sun 8 May).
Contact's Flying Solo 2016 (5-14 May) is also getting into its stride with Matt Miller's Sticking and Stuart Bowden's She Was Probably Not A Robot both on Sat 7 May.
Josh Coates's Get Yourself Together is at the Royal Exchange (Fri 6 + Sat 7 May); and further afield in Lancaster, today Fri 6 May there's Eggs Collective's Late Night Love (Dukes Theatre) and Leo Burtin's Midnight Soup (Storey Institute) - both also coming to parts Mancunian w/c 16 May.
Next week (w/c 9 May) look out for Claire Cunningham's Give Me A Reason To Live at the Lowry on Tue 10 May.
Meanwhile, at Contact's Flying Solo 2016 there's Louise Wallwein's Glue and Jenna Watt's Faslane (both Tue 10 + Wed 11 May). While Ria Hartley's Untouchable and Cheryl Martin's Alaska are both sold-out, you could also check out Igor Vrebrac (Thu 12 May) or Ben Mellor + Kate O'Donnell (both on Fri 13 + Sat 14 May).
The following week (w/c 16 May) for those of a physical theatre bent, Liverpool picks up the festival vibe with Physical Fest (20-28 May) while in parts Mancunian Leo Burtin is at Sale Waterside and Eggs Collective are at HOME.
We, at WoW will also serving up a Sunday double-yolked scramble from the aforementioned Eggs with self-styled film auteur Richard Dedomenici premiering Queer As Yolk: Redux also at HOME.
Enjoy your eggs sunny-side up - it won't last!
