The Flare International Festival of New Theatre
A statement by Flare Festival on Brexit is available here. From Monday 13 to Saturday 18 July 2015, Contact, the Royal Exchange Theatre, Z-arts and the Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama presented a range of experiences at the cutting edge of international theatre. Double bills and triple bills of exciting and challenging theatre, interactive theatre experiences, works in progress and works by UK and international students, all made up the performance programme.

If you enjoy theatre, if you’re open to new experiences created by exciting new artists, then watch this space as we plan for FLARE17! See you then...
