Contact Theatre New Season Manchester's Contact Theatre has announced its summer season listings, which it claims is its best "in recent living memory". For the rest of this month, audiences can see Leo Kay as Mr Sole Abode, Belgian theatre company Victoria's collaboration with Tim Etchells of Forced Entertainment in That Night Follows Day with a cast of sixteen children, an urban walk with artists Andrea Sonnberger and Gustavo Ciriaco inside a giant elastic band, Australian company Chunky Move's 25-minute piece Glow fusing dance with video and comedy double-bill Diabolic Kyogen, that fuses east and west via Beckett and The Young Ones. Queer Up North will present several performances, presentations and discussions at the Contact in May, including Kevin Dalton's Black Fish Diaries, a preview of Russell Barr's new play Lobster and Augusten Burroughs with A Wolf at the Table. May finishes at the Contact with Nettles from Manchester University Drama Society in which the Christian values of a tight-knit village are threatened by a shocking series of events and Deafinitely Theatre presents Lipstick and Lollipops, where a deaf teenager moves to London with her mother but rebels by escaping to a late-night party. Goat Island comes from Canada with the premiere of its last ever piece The Lastmaker in June, and Grupo XIX De Teatro of Brazil presents Hysteria, about the lives of women in mental institutions of the nineteenth century, at Victoria Baths. From 27 July to 2 August, the theatre will host Contacting the World 2008, an international theatre project for young and emerging artists that pairs up twelve of the most exciting new theatre companies from around the world in a year-long exchange project. The events of the week will be in Manchester and Liverpool, becoming part of the Liverpool Capital of Culture programme. In August, Nicole Et Martin's Swiss circus re-tells traditional fairy stories from central Europe, and Contact Young Actors Company will present its summer show directed by Cathy Naden of Forced Entertainment. The programme also includes a large number of music events and exhibitions. David Chadderton
