Blackbird tops Lowry’s new season

March 10, 2008

The Lowry have unveiled their new season and, as ever, there is huge variety in store for theatregoers in the North West. From ballet to Black Watch and some West End hits; there is something for everyone.

We at WOS Manchester have compiled a ‘must see’ list, just for you.

Blackbird - this harrowing play wowed audiences in London. At last, we get the chance to see it on tour. Starring Dawn (Monarch Of The Glen) Steele (pictured) and Robert (The Royal) Daws, this shattering and disturbing play won Best New Play at the Olivers in 2007.

Eurobeat- Almost Eurovision - with an introduction by Terry Wogan himself, this award-winning spoof proved to be a huge hit in Edinburgh last year. We get to join in and vote for the eventual winner. Sounds Euro-tastic!

Black Watch - War seen through the eyes of the soldiers on the ground. Gregory Burke’s critically acclaimed play is set to be a unique experience. Staged at the nearby Pie Factory TV studios, expect to experience the horrors of war.

The 39 Steps- Another Oliver Award winner, this time for best New Comedy. Currently playing at the Criterion Theatre to packed audiences, this fast paced comedy thriller features four fearless actors playing 139 roles.

Crown Matrimonial- Patricia Routledge returns to the Lowry following the hugely successful Office Suite. This time she plays Queen Mary against the backdrop of Edward and Mrs Simpson’s love affair. This looks like it could be a cracking drama.

Slava’s Snowshow- if you missed this unique show a couple of years ago, it’s back! But you had better book soon as this was a sell-out last time. You will see why as you the stunning imagery will stay with you for a long time. To tell you any more would ruin an incredible show.

Pam Ann- Terror At 41,000 Feet- this crazy character - a foul mouthed stewardess supported Cher a few years ago. See for yourself why she believed, as Pam Ann guides you through the air. Strap in and get ready to laugh!
