Murder For Two

Sat 17 May | 8pm | £22.50 / £20 (concession) / £15 (student) 

This is a murder mystery with a twist. Two actors play thirteen characters… with a piano. When famous novelist Arthur Whitney is found dead at his birthday party, it’s time to call in the detectives. The only problem is, they’re out of town.

Enter Officer Marcus Moscowicz, a neighbourhood cop desperate to climb the ranks. With the clock ticking, it’s up to Marcus to solve the crime before the real detective arrives. Gloriously silly, devilishly clever and fantastically funny! The musical premiered at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre in 2011, winning the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Musical. In 2022, the musical’s setting was relocated to the UK by Barn Theatre, receiving outstanding reviews from audiences and critics alike.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Ireland

Friday 16 May | 8pm | £15 / £13 (concession)

Join Paddy Cullivan on a hilariously insightful journey through the history of partition and the Ireland of the future.

Imagine this. It’s 2032. The people have spoken on both sides of the border and Ireland is a brand new 32-county country. There’s a new flag. A new anthem. There’s even a new capital! As Unionists holiday in the south, discovering the imperial joys of ‘Royal’ Dublin – southerners discover the ancient landscape of Ulster beyond the retail outlets of Newry and Titanic Belfast. Magical things happen when you create a new country – where EVERYTHING is on the table – and it’s exciting.

Leave all your preconceptions at the door. It’s not a United Ireland. It’s not an ‘agreed’ Ireland. It’s not ‘shared’ – nor is it ‘new’. It’s simply- ‘I can’t believe it’s not Ireland’! But first… we have to get there. Pushing optimism over despair, Paddy has created an uplifting vision of the future, a show that breaks down barriers and long-held perceptions. As fair to the unionist tradition as the nationalist, this show has enlightened and entertained people from East as well as West Belfast – and even Cork. An audiovisual spectacular full of song, comedy, incisive history and incredible futuristic imagery with the help of A.I., audiences who loved ‘The Murder of Michael Collins’ have all said the same thing about ‘I Can’t Believe it’s Not Ireland’ – they leave on a high.
