Mother, Crone, Maiden by Jessica Collett is the first play by a young feminist with an interest in women’s history who wanted to explore the real emotions behind genuine historical figures. It is a short play of three monologues performed as part of the Page to Stage Festival in Liverpool until September 28.

The 10th anniversary UK tour of Over The Rainbow: The Eva Cassidy Story comes to Lancaster’s Grand Theatre next Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Fifty years since the most successful folk/rock duo of all time recorded their first no1 hit single, The Sound of Silence, The Simon and Garfunkel Story comes to Blackpool Grand Theatre next Friday night.

Salford-born Robert Powell comes ‘home’ to the Lowry arts centre in the city this week. He is cast as Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie’s Murder On Air.

Audiences at next Thursday’s performance of the record-breaking drama War Horse, at The Lowry in Salford, have an extra treat in store when the story’s author Michael Morpurgo will guest star in the National Theatre production.

A new festival celebrating Salford as a creative city, Flow Salford, will be held next weekend. A diverse range of the city’s newest talent will take up residency across the theatrical landscape.
