What
stories are we living which
are not our own? Three strangers’
lives collide after a near
fatal train accident. As daily
life crumbles around them,
unexpected ancestral figures
start to step through the
veil of their once well ordered
lives. Stories come forth
and tangle into an increasingly
confused knot. Three ‘normal’
people desperately cling to
who they believed they once
were. What the hell is going
on and whose story is it anyway?

caused through unemployment.

Philadelphia-based
singer-songwriter Melody Gardot
burst onto the scene with
her 2008 debut album Worrisome
Heart which displays her innate
gift for transforming the
traditions of jazz and blues
with her "personal kiss
of life." Her 2009 follow-up,
My One and Only Thrill, is
an artistic leap forward for
the smoky-voiced singer, mixing
Latin rhythms, finger-snapping
blues, and smouldering torch
songs.

Two
women and an incoherent male
live together but can't quite
work out why. The radio is
broken, another mysterious
relative has died and there's
a parcel on the step. It's
like this every day. But last
night I dreamt of George again...
‘Clunk’ is an
absurd and refreshing comedy
from Liverpool-based theatre
collective The Suitcase Ensemble,
and comes to The Lowry following
a hugely successful premiere
in 2009. A feast of unhinged
humour, charming puppetry,
audacious nonsense and existential
angst, ‘Clunk’
casts a wry eye over a world
that turns us all into idiots.

than three years after the
gold-selling Fires, Nerina
Pallot has shaken up her sound,

an album of clever, classy
pop, including the new single
Real Late Starter. It is taken
from the brand new album The
Graduate, aptly named owing
to the fact Nerina recently
graduated with a First in
English literature.

Kevin’s
recent Edinburgh Comedy Award
nomination and his stand out
performance on Michael McIntyre’s
Comedy Roadshow (BBC ONE,
June/October 2009) have highlighted
an exceptional 12 months for
the young Glaswegian comic.
With his hotly anticipated
DVD on the way and a string
of high profile television
appearances including Live
at the Apollo (BBC1), 2010
is destined to be his year.
Kevin’s delightfully
well observed debut show reveals
his inner-most thoughts on
a variety of topics from his
home-land of Scotland to the
world beyond. His unique brand
of social commentary, astute
observations and sharp one-liners
arguably make him the hottest
act to come out of Scotland
in the last ten years.

Pioneering
American, singer/songwriter,
Suzanne Vega has announced
UK tour dates. Songs such
as Marlene on the Wall, Luka
and the hugely successful
album Solitude Standing have
brought her gentle yet powerfully
political acoustic pop to
a global audience. In 1990,
her career received an extra
boost when UK-based rap duo
DNA released a remix of a
cappella song Tom's Diner,
which charted world-wide.
She
has inspired a whole new generation
of musicians - Beth Orton
and Alanis Morrisette spring
to mind - and tonight is another
chance to hear those beautiful
songs and Suzanne's hauntingly
fragile vocals. 2010 sees
the release of her all new
acoustic studio recordings,
Suzanne Vega, Close-Up Vol.1,
Love Songs. Vega reinterprets
her best-loved songs in imaginative
and intimate renderings. The
first of 4 CDs in Suzanne’s
Close-Up Series includes:
Marlene on the Wall, Caramel,
Gypsy and Small Blue Thing.

of a water nymph who yearns
to be part of the human world
to earn the love of a prince.
Invoking the help of a manipulative
witch, she is bound by strict
conditions that will lead
her to discover the meaning
of true love. First performed
by Opera North in 2003, Olivia
Fuchs’ award-winning
production returns with many
of its original cast, including
Irish soprano, Giselle Allen
as Rusalka, Susannah Glanville
as The Foreign Princess and
Richard Angus as The Water
Sprite. Internationally acclaimed
Richard Berkeley-Steele makes
his Opera North debut as The
Prince. Suffused with a haunting
score, famed for Rusalka’s
poignant ‘Song to the
Moon,’ and conducted
by Oliver von Dohnanyi, (The
Bartered Bride, 1998) Rusalka
offers an altogether spell-binding
experience. Sung in English.
Lasts approximately 3 hours
15 minutes. «

One
of Donizetti’s most
dramatic and affecting works,
Maria Stuarda charts fact
and fictional events leading
to Mary Queen of Scots execution.
Donizetti originally courted
controversy by addressing
such powerful material and
the opera was initially banned.
The centrepiece of this opera
is the fictional confrontation
between Mary Stuart, the Catholic
Queen of Scotland, and the
Protestant Queen Elizabeth
I. The opera builds to the
moment of conflict when political,
religious and romantic tensions
simmer over, resulting in
Mary's condemnation and eventual
execution. The opera is recognised
as one of Donizetti's most
persuasive and powerful scores
and culminates in an exceptionally
affecting final scene. Sung
in Italian with English titles.
Lasts approximately 2 hours
30 minutes. «
