The Manchester Biennial Nowt Part Of Festival has been running all week, combined with the Manchester Acoustic Blues Festival, as an independent alternative warm up to the Manchester International Festival. Nowt Part Of reaches its conclusion tomorrow, Sunday, 28th June, with four new small cast quality theatre productions at the Eagle Inn on Collier Street, each one affordable to attend at under a tenner.
The Festival begins at 3pm with the last show at 8:15pm, each show lasting around an hour with a Q and A session afterwards. There's also an after-festival networking and get together from 9pm.
Here's the full line up...

The Madcap Laughs follows the life of the man who co-founded one of the most iconic bands of the 20th century, Pink Floyd but at a dangerous price, his sanity. Includes music and explores the Man, the Icon and the Crazy Diamond that was Syd Barrett.
"The aim of Nowt Part Of 2015 is to take what was achieved with the independent arts festival last biennial and widen the appeal to attract new audiences" says Festival organiser Mike Francis Carvalho "Tourists from as far away as Australia, as well as massive support from Greater Manchester made the forerunner something to be proud of. The Festival is completely and proudly independent; all we ask is that the public shows their support by attending the 'all under a tenner' events".
