Dateline: 10th June, 2010
Library's First Season "in Exile" Manchester's Library Theatre Company has announced the start of its plans from when it becomes homeless at the end of the current production of The Importance of Being Earnest. While the office staff will be relocated to the Zion Centre in Hulme, the next few productions will take place at The Lowry in Salford. The season will open in September with Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, directed by artistic director Chris Honer, set in a country house in Derbyshire in two different time periods, 200 years apart. Following this, the Christmas production will be Charles Dickens's popular festive tale A Christmas Carol in an adaptation by David Holman, which Rachel O'Riordan will return to direct after her success with last Christmas's Grimm Tales. In 2011, the year will open with one of Ibsen's most popular plays A Doll's House directed by Chris Honer. The Library's Norfox Young People's Theatre Company will continue with The Magnificent Tale of Emily Law and Arturo the Waterboy by community and education director Liz Postlethwaite inspired by life in Victorian Manchester, which will be at Capitol Theatre in Manchester Metropolitan University in August. Starting in summer 2011, the regular productions at The Lowry will be supplemented by productions in non-theatre spaces in the city centre, the details of which have yet to be announced. Honer spoke of a "bright new chapter" in the company's history, adding, "We’re looking forward eagerly to coming up out of the basement, playing at The Lowry with some key productions, and also exploring theatre in some unusual sites in the city while we prepare to move into our new home, which is planned to be the Theatre Royal on Peter Street, in four years’ time. It’s an exciting prospect." David Chadderton
