Manchester Sound: The Massacre from Manchester's Library Theatre Company

The next four productions from Manchester’s Library Theatre Company will be the final ones under the Library banner prior to the move with Cornerhouse to their new Manchester city venue, Home.

They will be the world première in June of Manchester Sound: The Massacre, in which the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 clashes with the city’s second Summer of Love in 1989; a revival for autumn 2013 of Educating Rita, Willy Russell’s heart-warming comedy; Wanted! Robin Hood, a new adaptation for Christmas 2013 of the classic Robin Hood story; and the first regional production of Anya Reiss’s contemporary translation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull for spring 2014.

From January 13-25, 2014 the Library presents its seventh annual re:play Festival, which brings together the best productions seen in Manchester and Salford’s non-theatre spaces over the previous 12 months.
