All The Way Home

This production of a new play by local playwright Ayub Khan-Din, best known for writing East is East, is co-produced by Manchester’s Library Theatre Company and The Lowry, and has the pedigree to suggest that it should be, engaging, thought-proving and worth the 10-minute tram ride to Salford Quays.

The Lowry, Thurs 29th September to Sat 15th October.

 Company

 Starring acclaimed actor and Sondheim regular Daniel Evans, this production of the 1970 Stephen Sondheim and George Furth musical should be well worth the 50-minute train journey to Sheffield. An ambitious piece about a single-man’s problems with commitment, Company is great entertainment and may appeal to those put off by more traditional musicals.

Sheffield Crucible Theatre, Tue 29th November to Sat 7th January 2012.
