Great to see campaigning, socially engaged theatre-making at @ContactMcr tonight with a script-in-hand performance of Nathaniel McBride's BLOCK THE BLOCK. Asks challenging questions around what power citizens have, if any, as Manchester is remade around us. More of this please!

David Thacker's THAT CAN'T HAVE HAPPENED! at @kingssalford is verbatim theatre at its most powerful. Staged simply, with emotionally rich, and often raw, performances - the production honours the harrowing, yet inspiring, stories of women who have survived domestic violence.

Challengingly double-edged, Kellie Colbert's DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE thoughtfully conveys how relationships have the ability to make and/or break us. There's power in the show's restraint, it's often like a suppressed scream, & Colbert's face can say so much. From @WarnMcr.

REVIEW - Oldham Coliseum is in a celebratory mood with their new production THE ENGAGEMENT PARTY, directed by Amanda Huxtable, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Full review at: https://t.co/JUAdFLIXdU

REVIEW - director Hannah Ellis Ryan's affection for BLITHE SPIRIT is obvious, but her production at @hopemilltheatre takes enough risks to make it feel fresh as well as fun – and Karen Henthorn's Madame Arcati blows in like a gale. Full review at: https://t.co/JAQv9ohdlz

Strong women, working class bingo, dormant desires, Rachael Gooch's uninhibited singing, & who would have thought bubbles would bring such pure joy to a roomful of adults! No shortage of creativity & connections at @WarnMcr's first SOCIAL EXPERIMENT at @ContactMcr last night.

Isn't January meant to be quiet theatre-wise? Apparently not. Lots of festival happenings this week with the wonderful FUTURE FLARES at Grosvenor East from tonight & the welcome return of PUSH (after its mysterious disappearance last year) at @HOME_mcr from Friday.

David Thacker scatters the audience among the shifting & uncertain perspectives of Brian Friel's FAITH HEALER - & (with Colin Connor, Vicky Binns & Rupert Hill firing on all cylinders) powerfully evokes a shabby, rootless & unravelling world - where miracles might just happen.

REVIEW - Josh Seymour’s production of SPEND SPEND SPEND at the Royal Exchange is enjoyably effervescent & full of restless ingenuity. It’s all highly entertaining and helped in no small part by Lucy Hinds’ wonderful choreography. Full review at: https://t.co/OZOMFHAE8J
