Autumn 2026 at HOME

Explore an exciting new season of theatre | Aug - Dec 2026

Escape to a season of epic theatre, comedy and musicals

This autumn 2026, we are bringing epic emotions, big laughs and huge musical moments to Manchester. From August until the new year our theatre 1 space hosts a wide range of hilarious comedy acts, gripping plays, laugh-out-loud cabarets and heartfelt family productions.

 

Classic and acclaimed plays take the stage in Manchester

Our autumn 2026 season is a theatre lovers dream with bold productions based on beloved classics both old and new. In September, an adaptation of Virginia Woolf's masterpiece Mrs Dalloway fuses theatre, live music and film into an inventive theatrical feast where the lead role of Clarissa Dalloway, and a host of other memorable characters are all brought to life single-handedly by Olivier Award-winning writer and performer Kit Green.

From late September and into October, a fresh new take on Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello comes to HOME's theatre 1 stage, bringing a timely exploration and reexamination of the work's timelesss themes of race, paranoia and power.

In November our Manchester audiences are treated to another contemporary classic; August Wilson's Fences. The landmark, pullitzer prize-winning play set in 1950s Pennsylvania is as brave and relevant today as it was when it first premiered in 1985 and this new interpretation offers modern audiences a chance to experience one of the seminal works of American theatre.

 

A side-splitting season of stand-up, cabaret and drag

Comedy is truly at home at HOME! As one of Manchester's leading venues for stand-up, solo-shows, cabarets and more, we can't wait to share our upcoming season of guaranteed belly laughs. From the razor sharp and lightning quick Rich Hall to the completely bonkers Umbilical Brothers, the show-stopping Maisie Adam and a drag celebration of Schitt's Creek on stage during Manchester Pride, we've got something to suit everybody.

 

A season of family spectacles!

Our autumn season closes in spectacular style with a family music packed with unforgettable music and dazzling displays of magic - The Sorcerer's Apprenctice. This gripping family-friendly story sees brooms coming to life and love blossoming anew, as the titular Sorcerer's Apprentice, Eva, discovers the explosive possibilities of her newfound magical powers!

In October, families with younger audiences can experience the heart-warming musical adaptation of the award-winning children's book The Littlest Yak, featuring beautiful puppets, catchy tunes and an uplifting tale of self-acceptance,
