warnmcr: it's all a bit queer


Word of Warning...

With Word of Warning's Spring 2014 season print now hitting the streets (we choose to call it moss green), we feel fully geared up to face the season...and if you believe that you'll believe anything... but before we kick off on 18 Feb here's the usual round-up of what's happening within reach of Manchester.

The week ahead, sees Contact kick off its season with Queer Contact(6-15 Feb). First up is Joey Arias & Kristian Hoffman's Lightning Strikes; also of interest may be Shortcuts 1 and 2 and Opera North's collaboration with the Tiger Lilies.

Further afield there's Flexer & Sandiland's Weightless on Wed 5 Feb at Live at LICA, Lancaster, Proto-type Theatre's The Good, The God and The Guillotine at Axis, Crewe (coming to Word of Warning/Contact Manchester 18 Feb) and Geddes Loom's Prelude to a Number at Theatre in the Mill, Bradford (7/8 Feb - also coming to the Lowry on 13 Feb). 

The following week (w/c 10 Feb) also sees Tim Crouch + Andy Smith at Axis, Crewe; LEAP's Love Letters... in Lancaster; the first Tales of Whatever of the year (at Gullivers); and Hofesh Schechter at Blackpool Grand. 

Finally, a quick reminder that you can support all those pitching for support at Re:Play's Pitch Party tonight, Fri 31 Jan at the Lowry.

Until next week...

best
