The Seventh Edition of this Award-Winning annual volume once again records and broadcasts the outstanding range and quality of Theatre in Greater Manchester, work of international repute appearing beside local work of outstanding quality in every borough and city.

Still priced at only £6.95, less than a penny a play, the cost is the lowest possible barrier to the possession of a personal copy by each of the book's numerous readers, - theatregoers, drama students, playwrights, amateur and professional producers and performers of all ages.

  •  "I wonder if any comparable area, anywhere in the world, can match it." writes a reader in Taunton.
  • "A wonderful tome, outlining what looks like a year-long festival of drama." writes another from Australia.
  • Most readers are more local: "One of the most regularly consulted tomes in showbiz around these parts." recorded City Life.

 It will revive happy memories for many years to come as well as being a tool of regular immediate use, whether for booking tickets , - giving details of 200 venues - , or guiding companies to those who have recent experience relevant to productions which they are about to tackle.

The book is an inspiring record of Greater Manchester's wide-ranging theatrical achievements but a foreword by Lawrence Till, Artistic Director at the Bolton Octagon until last summer, also tells of the enormous difficulties which these face.

The book is available though any bookshop or direct, post free, from the publisher: FREEPOST MR 9209, MANCHESTER M14 7DJ.

If any reader finds their achievements last year have been omitted, they can make sure this does not happen again by sending copies of their programmes to the same address for next year's edition.
