Welcome to our new season! 2013 will be the year of LS Lowry. We are delighted that Tate Britain will be presenting the first major London exhibition of the artist since his death in 1976. And at the same time, our Galleries will be showing something a little special too. Unseen Lowry will be a chance to see some of LS Lowry’s works that have never been displayed in public before. In our Theatres, we’re continuing to grow the range and depth of our programme. At the end of last year, we announced our run of the National Theatre’s War Horse, and the show is already breaking all previous Lowry sales records. Although there are still tickets left – we advise that you book early to avoid disappointment! And on the other side, we’re proud that our “Developed With The Lowry” programme in The Studio won a prestigious Mobius Peter Brook Empty Space Award for developing emerging artists. This now award-winning programme was given a further shot in the arm with support from the Jerwood Foundation to build our new Accelerate programme. See page 33 to find out more. And the great art is continuing outside The Lowry, as the Quays Cultural Programme presents one of its most ambitious projects to date with Speed of Light. I saw this work illuminate Edinburgh over the summer, and I can’t wait to see the whole of the Quays lit up in a breathtaking outdoor spectacle. This free event is not to be missed! Finally, I would like to thank everyone who supported our Christmas appeal. Thanks to your support, we raised over £21,000 to help work with Looked After Children across Salford. We hope you enjoy the season!
Robert Robson Artistic Director, The Lowry

Mike Leigh’s comedy became an instant classic when it appeared as a BBC Play For Today in 1977. It is a ruthlessly accurate observation of the pretensions of suburbia, a world obsessed with class and taste and ruled over by the monstrous Beverly!

‘The most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will ever encounter… ...if you haven’t seen this show yet you are missing a treat.’ The Daily Telegraph
Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt from the novel by Susan Hill.
Mon 6 – Sat 11 May Combining the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir, prepare to be transported into a terrifying and ghostly world. Celebrating 23 years in the West End, with over 7 million people having lived to tell the tale, The Woman in Black is one of the most exciting, gripping and successful theatre events ever staged. Susan Hill’s best-selling novel has since been turned into a major motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe. A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a ‘woman in black’, engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but as they reach further into his darkest memories, they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie marshes and moaning winds. The borders between make believe and reality begin to blur and the flesh begins to creep….

Comedy Theatre Company
Mon 27 May – Sat 1 June ITV’s top comedy of all time, Rising Damp, comes to the stage in a brand new production from the Comedy Theatre Company, producers of the stage versions of Victoria Wood’s dinnerladies and BBC TV’s Birds of a Feather. An unnamed northern university town is home to Rupert Rigsby, landlord of arguably the seediest, most run-down boarding house that England has to offer. His unlikely tenants include Ruth Jones, an administrator at the university; Alan, a medical student; and Philip, who is studying town and country planning. Between them, Alan and Philip are the focus and foil of the majority of Rigsby’s many prejudices, usually at the expense of his dignity and standing in the eyes of Miss Jones, with whom he is hopelessly and pathetically in love.

Sutra
‘Unique, profoundly imagined work.’ The Guardian
Tue 14 & Wed 15 May Sutra is a collaboration between one of Europe’s most exciting choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Turner Prize-winning sculptor Antony Gormley and 17 practicing Buddhist monks from the Shaolin Temple in China. A performance that is at once deeply hypnotic, playful and breathtakingly athletic. Aged between 10 and 26 years, the monks performing in Sutra follow a strict Buddhist doctrine, with kung fu and tai chi martial arts forming a part of their daily ritual. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (who is a big Bruce Lee fan) spent several months at their Temple before devising his awe-inspiring piece. During Sutra the monks perform such spectacular, dare devil moves that you see them quite literally as leaps of faith. Antony Gormley’s stage setting consisting of 21 wooden boxes which are carried or pushed around the stage by the monks, becoming walls, boats, beds, skyscrapers, toys, temples – whatever is needed. It is set to a specially commissioned score by Polish composer Szymon Brzóska for piano, percussion and strings which is performed live.

Peter Grimes
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Tue 5 & Sat 9 November
Wed 6 & Fri 8 November
Set in a small fishing community on the English coast, this astounding opera is an utterly absorbing, emotionally compelling experience, not to be missed. Britten’s atmospheric music takes powerful inspiration from the sea, vividly portraying the human drama unfolding around the outsider Peter Grimes.
Oberon, the fairy king and Tytania, his queen are locked in a conflict which spills over into the human world. Shakespeare’s witty words and the composer’s mesmerising music come together in this colourful and vibrant production where costumes and music are equally sparkling.
