NT Live Screening: A Streetcar Named Desire

Thursday 5 June | 7pm | £12 / £10

By Tennessee Williams | Directed by Benedict Andrews

Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece, returning to cinemas.

As Blanche’s fragile world crumbles, she turns to her sister Stella for solace – but her downward spiral brings her face to face with the brutal, unforgiving Stanley Kowalski.

From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014.

London’s National Theatre makes world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring. And now, they make it for everyone.

National Theatre Live is National Theatre’s ground-breaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre to venues in the UK and internationally, and The Market Place Theatre is delighted to be involved.

With state-of-the-art filming techniques, tailored to each play, you can now attend every performance as it happens, in all its glory.

This is theatre for everyone.

Just Sing Choir

Wednesday 21 May 7.30pm £15 Adults / £5 Kids 

Just Sing Ladies was formed in September 2021. The choir was set up to encourage ladies living in the Portadown area to leave behind the worries of normal day to day life and simply enjoy the therapeutic benefits of singing.

The choir delights in creating a fun learning environment where ladies from all walks of life, who share a similar passion for singing, can come together and enjoy the art of performing.

The choir has since grown to around 70+ ladies, meeting every Thursday night in the local rugby club.

The ladies sing a wide variety of genres with the aim of promoting a love for singing, developing mental well – being and improving singing technique and musicianship. Most importantly, the ladies use singing as a tool to develop self – confidence and establish positive team work – helping singers feel energized and uplifted!

To date Just Sing has had the opportunity to perform in local churches at a variety of charity events, country estates, museums, WI annual conventions, travel shows, government buildings, Charles Wood community choir weekend and Windsor Castle, as part of the BBC’s coverage of the King’s Coronation Concert.

The choir has also won a variety of prizes at local music festivals. The choir members are delighted to be part of this performance this evening and they trust you will enjoy their music!
