The socially distanced 400-seat venue will stage Alice in Wonderland with contemporary Manchester songs
A new outdoor theatre in Manchester is to present productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland this summer.
Homeground, a temporary open-air space announced on Thursday, has been conceived by the city’s multi-arts venue Home. Its 400-seat socially distanced outdoor theatre and a second stage for free performances will be sited on an 80,000 sq ft future development site on First Street, next to Home. The venue, supported by the government’s culture recovery fund, opens on 28 May and will create 450 new employment opportunities for freelance artists and creative practitioners.
