MANCHESTER LINES, the Library Theatre Company’s much anticipated second site specific production will be staged on the fifth floor of Number One First Street.
Presented in association with Ask Property Developments, Manchester Lines tells the stories of eight people, who are all en route to somewhere. Manchester Lines reveals personal journeys, tells stories, and reveals fragments of lifelines. Welcome to the Lost Property Office of the Soul.
Manchester Lines
Directed by site specific theatre specialist Wils Wilson and written by the award-winning poet, playwright and novelist Jackie Kay (Red Dust Road, Trumpet - pictured top of this page), with music specially composed by Errollyn Wallen (Opera North, Orchestra of the Swan), Manchester Lines will be performed in front of a strictly limited audience of 100 per performance. The audience will be part of the set in the second of three site-specific shows presented by the Library Theatre Company each summer from 2011.
There will also be a specially assembled community choir for the production, reinforcing the Library Theatre Company’s aims of widening participation.
Manchester Lines will be on from Tuesday 12 June to Saturday 7 July 2012.
