As Manchester bids a fond farewell to our ruling class, who undoubtedly had the time of their lives, you can only wonder where the last week went... for me it's been strangely familiar, spending a good chunk of it back in spaces theatrical! The next couple of weeks seem to be following a similar pattern:
IRL:
This weekend, CYC's Everything all of the Time continues until Sat 9 Oct, while HOME has Jennifer Jackson's Endurance (also until Sat 9 Oct). The Family Vogue Ball pops up at the Old Courts, Wigan on Sat 9 Oct and The Met, Bury on Sun 10 Oct.
Also until Sat 9 Oct Imitating the Dog's Dracula: the Untold Story continues at Leeds Playhouse.
Next week, w/c 11 Oct, HOME has Avital Raz's My Jerusalem on Wed 13 Oct and Victor Esses'sWhere To Belong
on Thu 14 Oct plus Mark Thomas's 50 Things About Us on Wed 13 + Thu 14 Oct.
Manchester Jewish Museum has Klein Blue + Sophie Ablett's She Seeks Out Wool on Thu 14 Oct; while The Untold Orchestra's Bowie: An Orchestral Rendition is at Niamos on Fri 15 + Sat 16 Oct.
Word of Warning is, of course, back in action with Tania Camara's Oreo at STUN on Fri 15 Oct.
In Liverpool, Unity has One September/Aleasha Chaunte's Out of the Narrow on Thu 14 Oct and SH!T Theatre's Drink Rum With Expats on Fri 15 + Sat 16 Oct. In Sheffield, Theatre Deli has Lekhani Chirwa's Can I Touch Your Hair on Thu 14 Oct; while to the north, in Lancaster, the Duke's has Sophie's Birthday on Fri 15 Oct.
The following week, w/c 18 Oct is a hard-to-categorise hybrid week! There's in person performance including Dani Abulhawa's Concord at the Holden Gallery on Fri 22 Oct, and Mandla Rae's As British As A Watermelon (Sat 23 + Mon 25-Wed 27 Oct) at Contact. The latter is part of Black Gold Arts Festival (19-29 Oct) which sees a mixture of live, online + in person film including ascreening of Mele Broome's Wrapped Up In This (21+22 Oct) at Contact. Also live in person, there's My White Best Friend at the Royal Exchange on Sat 23 + Sat 30 Oct.
In Liverpool, Dibby Theatre's The First Time is Unity on Thu 23 Oct; while in Leeds, Quarantine's 12 Last Songs is at Leeds Playhouse on Sat 23 Oct.
Corridor of Light also runs 21-23 Oct, along and around Oxford Road; while Journeys Festival(15-24 Oct) sees a mix of installation and digital work. And, as ever, keep your eye on new additions to Manchester Independents.
Online:
The Lowry has Tamzen Moulding's Fall, Wake + Exit (until 1 Dec) while HOME's HOMEMAKERS is still running and there's also still MIF Watch On Demand. As ever, have a look at Word of Warning's YouTube channel for previous events and Domesticated our home for online video.
