warnmcr: Spring 2014 at Word of Warning


Word of Warning... here we go again!

So finally, after a small speedbump last week, Word of Warning's Spring 2014 programme is now online! This season you’ll mainly find us ensconced in Contact: kicking off the pre-Easter run on 18 Feb with the return of Proto-type Theater; followed by a series of highly varied one-handers as part of Contact's Flying Solo Festival including Rachel Mars, Kindle Theatre, Sylvia Rimat, Jo Bannon and Victoria Melody and her scene-stealing basset hound, Major Tom; rounding off with the florally fragrant Two Destination Language and the return of Turn. For those feeling deprived of the special touch of Word of Warning at Z-arts - on 26 Feb we're also trying out a brand new space in the building — the newly equipped STUN Studio - with a double bill on ageing, featuring Manchester’s own Nicki Hobday + Sara Cocker and Forest Fringe’s Ira Brand.

Before we get to all that, however, next week sees Motionhouse's Broken on 28 + 29  and Re:Play's Pitch Party on Fri 31 Jan both at the Lowry.  The marvellous Stacy Makishi's The Falsettos also returns to the North West, to Live at LICA, Lancaster on Thu 30 Jan.

Looking ahead, to the first week of Feb, there's Flexer & Sandiland at Live at LICA, Proto-type Theatre at Axis, Crewe (coming to Manchester 18 Feb) and Queer Contact kicks off at Contact (funnily enough) - don't miss the Joey Arias & Kristian Hoffman's Lightning Strikes ticket offer (quote SNL1979 and check out Klaus Nomi!)

Until next week...

best
