New Season at the Exchange

The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester has now announced the productions for the second half of its 30th anniversary season.

In March, associate director Sarah Frankcom will direct Edward Albee's classic Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in the main house. This will be followed in April by a new adaptation of Marivaux's The Triumph of Love translated and adapted by Braham Murray and Katherine Sand and directed by Braham Murray. In May, Greg Hersov will direct Shakespeare's The Tempest, starring Pete Postlethewaite as Prospero.

This season will also feature two of the recently announced winning plays from the Bruntwood Playwrighting Competition. First prize winner Pretend You Have Big Buildings by Ben Musgrave will be directed in the main house by Jo Combes and Sarah Frankcom in July. Second prize winner Monster by Duncan Macmillan will be performed in the Studio in June.

Public booking opens for these performances on 13 November.
