Word of Warning — Weekly Warning

Forgive the dreadful Concord pun of this week's subject line - my head is split across a number of shows and obviously humour is obviously misfiring! On this disappointingly grey October morning - there is definitely a plethora of stuff going on:

IRL:
Tonight, Fri 22 Oct Word of Warning is co-presenting Dani Abulhawa's Concord with Interruptions at the Holden Gallery.

Tomorrow, Sat 23 Oct sees the opening of the live development of Mandla Rae's As British As A Watermelon at Contact as part of Black Gold Arts Festival (until 29 Oct in person + online); while Corridor of Light runs until 23 Oct, along and around Oxford Road. There's also My White Best Friend at the Royal Exchange on Sat 23 + Sat 30 Oct while Journeys Festival (until 24 Oct) sees a mix of installation and digital.

In Liverpool at Unity, Dibby Theatre's The First Time is tonight Fri 22 Oct; while Transcend Theatre's How To Kill A Rose is tomorrow, Sat 23 Oct.
In Leeds, Quarantine's 12 Last Songs has its marathon outing at Leeds Playhouse - also tomorrow, Sat 23 Oct.

Next week, w/c 25 Oct at Contact Mandla Rae's As British As A Watermelon continues until Wed 27 Oct; followed by This House is On Fire on Sat 30 Oct. HOME has Hofesh Schechter's Political Mother Unplugged (27-30 Oct) and Emmanuela Yogolelo's Tales from the Congo Basin(2pm, Fri 29 Oct).

Further afield, Lancaster Arts has New Art Club's Cupid's Revenge on Tue 26 Oct; while in Sheffield Namiuki Dance Theatre's Exploring The Man/Puberty is at Theatre Deli on Fri 29 Oct and the Enable US Festival also kicks off (31 Oct - 19 Dec).
