Opening- Blood Brothers, Jump , Triumph and Library Theatre back in business

April 15, 2007

It’s all change in Manchester this week with a mixture of old and new productions.

The well received martial arts comedy Jump opens at the Lowry on Tuesday. Following its huge success at the Peacock Theatre in London, this unusual show promises to be something quite different. Tickets are selling well, so book quickly- if you want a decent view of the family who literally fight for each other. Jump opens on Tues 17th and runs at the Lowry until Sat 21st April.

Blood Brothers arrives at the Opera House tomorrow. This evergreen classic still has what it takes and you can see why it sells out every time it comes here. In Manchester for two weeks, Willy Russell’s brilliant tale stars Linda Nolan as Mrs Johnstone. There are still some good tickets available.

Following their brilliant production of Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf (which I have now seen twice) - The Royal Exchange change gear with a comedy - The Triumph Of Love. Directed by Braham Murray, this promises to be a comedy with a gender twist. From Tues 17th April until 19th May.

The Library Theatre bravely continued staging the hit comedy Chapter Two - at the Capitol Theatre following the small fire. But now they open their doors for Not A Game For The Boys. This intimate theatre has a great reputation and rightfully so. If you haven’t been before, you can book here. Not A Game opens on Thurs 19th April and closes on Saturday 28th.

I will be bringing you reviews of Blood Brothers and Jump, The Triumph Of Love and Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest soon. Enjoy!
