Library Theatre New Season Manchester's Library Theatre company has announced its autumn and winter season for 2011 to 2012, which, again, will largely take place at The Lowry in Salford but with another site-specific piece following this year's successful placing of Dickens's Hard Times into a mill building in Ancoats. The season begins at The Lowry in September with the world première of Ayub Khan-Din's new play All The Way Home directed by former Octagon artistic director Mark Babych and starring three Coronation Street regulars—Naomi Radcliffe, Kate Anthony, and Sean Gallagher—with Susan Cookson who starred in two series of Early Doors. The Library's Christmas production at The Lowry will be Alan Bennett's popular adaptation of the children's classic The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham directed by artistic director Chris Honer, who will also direct the opening production of 2012 and the closing one of the season of DH Lawrence's The Daughter-in-Law to celebrate the centenary of the miners' strike in 1912. The site-specific piece in summer 2012 will be Manchester Lines written by Manchester poet and playwright Jackie Kay, directed by Wils Wilson and with music by Errolyn Wallen at a venue yet to be confirmed. Also still to be confirmed is the location of the next Re:Play Festival, celebrating the best work seen in non-theatre spaces in Manchester and Salford over the previous twelve months, at the beginning of next year. Tickets for the shows at The Lowry are on sale now from the Library's web site www.librarytheatre.com or from QuayTickets on 0843 208 6010. David Chadderton
