Australian actress and singer Natalie Imbruglia makes her UK drama debut at The Lowry in Salford when she stars alongside Claire Price, Edward Bennett and Simon Gregor in a long-awaited revival of Alan Ayckbourn’s hit play Things We Do For Love.

After two sell-out runs of their debut show The Boy Who Kicked Pigs, Lowry associate artist Kill the Beast is back next Thursday and Friday with its first completely original work. He Had Hairy Hands is a 70s detective werewolf mystery.

Hoax My Lonely Heart, a heartbreaking musical based on a true story of a fatal relationship with schizophrenia, comes to The Studio at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre from Wednesday to Saturday.

War Horse author Michael Morpurgo’s Private Peaceful will be staged at Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake this week as part of commemorations marking the centenary of World War I.

The Lancashire Hotpots bring their own tasty recipe of folk music, fun and comedy songs to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre next Friday as part of their Summertime Special tour.
