Declan Nerney

Fri 7 May | 8pm | £28

Irish country music icon, Declan Nerney, has been inducted into the Irish Country Music Hall of Fame, cementing his status as a beloved national treasure.

Born in Drumlish, County Longford, Nerney’s early passion for music was shaped by the vibrant showband scene. At just 16, he joined his first band, The Hi-Lows, and soon after became a fixture on stages across Ireland. His breakthrough came with the autobiographical hit ‘The Marquee in Drumlish’, a tribute to his childhood and the cultural heartbeat of rural Irish music.

Over more than four decades, Nerney has crafted a catalogue brimming with signature songs that resonate across generations, ‘Stop the World (and Let Me Off)’, ‘Anna from Fermanagh’, ‘Three-Way Love Affair’, and others, all co-written with collaborator Henry McMahon.

Join Declan and his fantastic band with special guests John Hogan and Gary Gamble for a memorable night of music, song and fun.

King Lear

Thursday 25 March | 8pm | £18 / £14 (conc)

William Shakespeare | Adapted by Nathan Martin

A dark and visceral descent into madness, power and the brutal bonds of family.

“O, let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven!”

Three daughters. One kingdom. A family willing to destroy itself for power.

When King Lear decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters, he demands one thing in return: their love, spoken aloud and proven to him.

But when pride, ambition and betrayal take hold, the family Lear thought he could command begins to turn against him and each other, sending a once-powerful King spiralling into madness.

As Lear loses his crown, his authority and finally his grip on reality, his daughters are forced to confront just how far they are willing to go to claim what they believe is theirs.

This event will take place in our studio theatre with an unreserved, tiered seating layout
