The full line-up of what’s coming up at Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester over the next few months includes in-house musicals and visiting productions.
The theatre, opened in a grade II listed former cotton mill in the Ancoats area of Manchester three years ago by William Whelton and Joseph Houston, has firmly established itself with a host of in-house productions, a number of which have transferred to London, and awards.
The current in-house musical, The Return of the Soldier, continues until September 29,
The Pride, by Green Carnation Company, is on from October 16 to 20, the debut play from Alexi Kaye Campbell (Apologia, The Faith Machine, Bracken Moor). Alternating between 1958 and 2008, it examines changing attitudes to sexuality.
There is then a fortnight of events to celebrate Hope Mill Theatre’s third birthday.
The fifth in-house musical, Stephen Sondheim’s Putting it Together, runs from October 24 to November 24.
David Auburn’s Proof is directed by Hope Mill Theatre co-founder and Artistic Director Joseph Houston (making his directorial debut) from November 27 to December 2.
In December, Hope Mill Theatre hosts a Contact commission, The Forest of Forgotten Discos!, from December 11 to 16 for children aged 5+.
