Marisa Carnesky, creator of Carnesky's Ghost Train, delves into the world of waxworks in walk-through experience Dystopian Wonders featuring songs, circus acts and illusions. Two people struggle to regain control of their lives in Interior Traces from The Identity Project. The Six Sided Man from Company Gavin Robertson features a psychiatrist who makes every decision based on the throw of a die. Les Enfants Terribles brings its latest acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe show Ernest and the Pale Moon, inspired by Poe and Hitchcock, and Milan Govedarica takes us to the gay scene of Hull in Me, As A Penguin by Tom Wells.

Meant-2-Play Productions looks at whether plastic surgery really makes people happier in Toxing It by Caroline Mentiplay. Prolific local fringe playwright Cathy Crabb presents a selection of her works in film, theatre and song including scenes from future plays and her MEN Award-winning Moving Pictures. Another local writer Josie Melia's play What Would Helen Mirren Do? will be produced by Parrymelia, and Mediamedea and Studio Salford's Plus One...? is about someone who realises he has to make changes before he can hope to fill the 'plus one' on his wedding invitation from his cousin. The Gate Theatre in London pays Salford a visit with Domini Públic (Public Domain) by Roger Bernat in which a group of people walk across the Plaza while listening to questions and instructions on headphones. NewUpNorth presents eight oddballs hitting adulthood in the 'noughties' in Eight by Ella Hickson. Take the Space's Dolce Via by Siobhán Nicholas is inspired by the films of Chaplin and Fellini, and Balloonhead Productions's Wednesday by Ian Winterton is about two people who wake to find themselves tied to a bed in a dank cellar. The Lowry's theatres programmer Porl Cooper said of the building's smallest theatre space, "The Studio is an integral part of The Lowry’s artistic programme, giving audiences access to a wide range of exciting theatre and new writing. Equally important is The Lowry’s role as a supporter of emerging talent, providing a creative environment where developing companies can showcase their work." David Chadderton
