Last chance: The Animals and Children took to the Streets at HOME

Theatre company 1927 returns to HOME this month with its latest production, The Animals and Children took to the Streets. The multi-award-winning company previously brought Golem to HOME in 2015 – and this new work employs similar use of large-scale projection to dazzling effect. Delivered largely through song and voiceovers, the narrative tells the tale of the Bayou Mansions – a crumbling tenement block over-run by vermin – and children. With playful acting from its cast of three, music for fans of the Amélie soundtrack and a distinctive Tim Burton-esque aesthetic, it’s a production that’s sure to stick with you.

Wed 6 – Sat 16 Feb, HOME, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester, M15 4FN, Tel: 0161 200 1500, 7.30pm (plus 2pm Sat matinee), £18 – £20 (concessions available), homemcr.org
