Two women. One locked room. One bottle of poison.
When Helen regains consciousness, she finds herself bound and blindfolded in a locked room. Her captor, best friend Catherine, challenges her to a deadly game of Russian roulette to decide which of them will win the handsome film star they both desire. But the game – like the room – is far from what it seems … and are they alone in the room … or is there someone watching? Read more about this event … or

George Orwell’s 1984
18 November 7:30 PM
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
In a totalitarian world at war, Big Brother watches over all and the Thought Police rule with an iron fist.
A solitary figure, Winston Smith, clings to a vision of a different future. What begins as an act of rebellion and hope quickly descends into a nightmare of doomed love, personal betrayal and the terrors of Room 101.
From the lies of the Ministry of Truth to the blind hysteria of the Two Minutes Hate, the manipulation of Doublethink, Newspeak and the capital offence of Thoughtcrime, George Orwell’s stark futuristic vision pulls no punches, and resonates now more than ever.
In a world of dodgy dossiers, rendition, torture, Murdoch, spin and political corruption, truth has indeed become as strange as this chilling fiction that is frighteningly familiar.
Following on from the public and critical success of The Canterbury Tales, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, and Lisa’s Sex Strike (Blake Morrison’s adaptation of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata), Director Conrad Nelson brings yet another classic to the Broadsides cannon, together with his trademark energy, ear for language and instinct for the pulse, nerve and sinew within the script.

Kiss Me Like You Mean It
19 November 7:30 PM
Three a.m. on a hot midsummer’s night in Manchester.
A party taking place in a shabby Victorian terrace house.
In the back garden Tony and Ruth meet, thanks to a stolen can of beer. On the floor above, Don and Edie are having a party of their own.
As the night progresses, love is definitely in the air – but then so is the smell of cheap lager. And even cheaper aftershave.
A touching, heart-warming and controversial play from Chris Chibnall, writer for TV’s Born & Bred, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Merlin and Law and Order UK. Read more about this event … or
