Prison Game When prison is your world, how do you function within society? This gripping one-man physical theatre performance is the story of how prison can define a man. Using real life accounts of extraordinary experiences, this story deals with the effects of institutionalisation on the psyche of an individual. Oldham Coliseum coliseum.org.uk/plays/prison-game/

Clogs to Clogs and the Shalwar Kameez Scratch the surface, and we have so much more in common that what seems to separate us. Shanaz is the town's first female Muslim mayor. Her drive to bring in new business means demolishing the town's last mill. Clogs to Clogs and the Shalwar Kameez is a joyous and funny telling of the history of the Lancashire Cotton Industry through drama, stories, songs and dance. Of how life brings us full circle. And of how the lives of the workers of Lancashire and South Asian have been woven together through cotton for over 400 years. Oldham Coliseum goo.gl/DyPbd5

THE NORTH WEST’S

.... 11th November - 13th January

Dick Whittington

The North West's favourite pantomime is packed with laugh-out-loud gags, thigh slapping songs, and a generous helping of "it's behind you's"! OH YES IT IS. Poor young lad Dick Whittington lives in the country but wants a life of adventure. He journeys to seek his fame and fortune in London with just his rat-catching cat as his only friend. Are the city's streets paved with gold? Will his path to the happily-ever-after be an easy one?

Happiness is a Cup of Tea During a stormy night on the cliff top at Beachy Head, Fiona Nash is facing her own mortality. She's been asked to write a eulogy, and she didn’t even know her mother was ill. Now she’s just trying to figure out things in that head of hers. She should probably go home, but sometimes it’s best just to have a cup of tea and a sit down for a minute. Oldham Coliseum coliseum.org.uk/plays/happiness-is-acup-of-tea/

Bolton market has over 200 stalls including a bustling food court serving food from all over the world, cafés complement our food offer, and we even have a licensed bar.

Dick Whittington has fabulous costumes, glitz and glamour, silliness and slapstick and hit songs to sing along to. This pantomime appeals to ALL the family, from kids to not-sogrown-up grown-ups. A great way to celebrate Christmas with friends and family. Oldham Coliseum coliseum.org.uk/plays/dickwhittington/Bolton

Bolton’s Award Winning Market

One For The Road

We open our new season with a comedy about social climbing, set in the 1980s, when everyone wanted to escape their working class roots … Everyone, that is, except Dennis Cain, whose life is defined by garden gnomes, John Denver records, Tupperware and poshed-up cottage pie. And he thinks he’s the only one who wants to get out! Lyceum Theatre, Oldham lyceumtheatre.org.uk/one-for-theroad/
