Tales from Northern Britain: Playwright and comedian Stan Wallace talks to Northern Soul
The whole Brexit conundrum may be dividing the nation but that hasn’t stopped first-time playwright and stand-up comedian Stan Wallace from having his say and encouraging us to have ours.
Review: Aida, Opera North, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Of all the iconic Italian operas, I had yet to see Verdi’s Aida.
Theatre Review: The Importance of Being Earnest, Bolton Octagon at Albert Halls
This is the most interesting production of The Importance of Being Earnest I have ever seen, and that includes David Suchet in drag as Lady Bracknell.
“She never compromised.” Writer Lisa Holdsworth on Andrea Dunbar, Adelle Stripe and a new play
So, here’s the thing. A brand-new stage project has drawn together three acclaimed female writers from Yorkshire.
Theatre Review: Cooped, Liverpool Playhouse
Cooped is something akin to the best bad am-dram theatre production you’ve ever seen.
“I thought I was to blame for the assaults.” Producer and artist Laura Desmond talks post-#MeToo
It’s almost two years since #MeToo catapulted into the Twittersphere.
Theatre Review: Handbagged, Oldham Coliseum

“We’d like to make history.” The Talleyrand, Levenshulme, Manchester
Levenshulme is rising. To say it is gentrifying is perhaps too strong but it’s certainly becoming bohemian.
Preview: OperaWatch, Summer 2019
As keen readers of OperaWatch will know (thank you, Freda and Eric Thwaites), summer is traditionally a quiet period for opera here in the North.
Theatre Review: The Way I See It, The Talleyrand, Levenshulme
The Way I See It does exactly what it says on the tin.
