Manchester’s Opera House is once again the setting for yet another World Premiere cementing itself as the go to place for some of the best theatre producers to showcase their new work before it invariably heads to the West End and beyond.

Staying true to the original movie written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale vi...
