Manchester - A City on the Frontline

Paul Fitzgerald / Polyp explores the surprising facts about Manchester’s vivid history of political, social, scientific and technological achievements. Despite relative youth, it’s a city that has always punched well above its weight, as if it lies on a rumbling underground faultline of radical creativity, always ready to shake the world. Audience facts and stories are a very welcome part of the event!
