Save “Money, Money, Money” on Manchester theatre tix!

July 3, 2008

With the publicity for the film version of Mamma Mia! going into overdrive, I could not resist the pun within the headline. But, there is another reason, with the credit crunch hitting hard, I have decided to morph into Martin Lewis and share my tips on how you can get theatre in Manchester on the cheap.

With food, petrol and the cost of living on the rise, theatre tickets might be the last thing on your shopping list.

You often read about how to get West End bargains, but never Manchester. So, here goes:

1) Have a look at lastminute.com. Many people associate this site with London theatre only. But there is a regional section and they cover many of the main theatres, such as the Palace, the Opera House and the Lowry with discounts to be had. It’s always worth a look.

2) Subscribe to websites offering discounts. The Royal Exchange have a great newsletter, which often has superb offers with tickets to be had for as little as a fiver! You can also subscribe to ticketmaster regionally which will also give you the odd special offer. The Manchester Evening News sometimes have offers on Fridays in their City Life supplement and the paper itself is free if you live or work in the City Centre! Read more

June 17, 2008

“I am unable to do the job as I would wish without the support of the woman I love.” Edward VIII BBC Abdication broadcast to the Nation, 11 December 1936.

This is a taster of the fascinating play, Crown Matrimonial, starring Patricia Routledge, which visits the Lowry in July and we have a pair of tickets up for grabs!

THE PLAY:
Crown Matrimonial is a gripping drama, centring on the crisis which faces the nation when Edward VIII declares his deep love for Wallis Simpson and insists on marrying her, in full knowledge that he will have to abdicate.

This unique insight into the domestic life of the Royal Family in the 1930s shows the passions aroused between Queen Mary and her son King Edward VIII caused by his love affair, and mirrors the other great royal constitutional crisis set in 1997 so memorably portrayed in the 2006 film The Queen.
