Famla: 21-25 March | 8pm & 3:30pm | £18 - £12.50 A new drama by Tinderbox Theatre Company. Written by acclaimed dramatist John McCann, Famla is a haunting, humorous and heart-breaking story that challenges the stories we tell ourselves to hide the truth of who we really are. Hector has passed this place all her life. An old house; maybe a hundred years old or more. It looks abandoned and she never gave it a second thought until now. She discovers that someone is still living inside. Someone spiteful and refusing to budge. Age guidance: 16+ The Importance Of Being Earnest: 24 March – 15 April | 7:45pm & 3pm| £25 - £12.50 Signed & Audio Described Show |Wed 5 April | 7.45pm The Importance of Being Earnest is widely regarded as one of Oscar Wilde’s finest works and one of the world’s great farcical comedies. A hilarious tale that pokes fun at Victorian society’s conventions and institutions, its themes are still relevant today. Bruiser Theatre Company brings its uniquely punchy style to this production of the classic. Imaginatively interpreted by an all-male cast, this is Earnest for a 2017 audience. Linger - A duet for 2 male dancers: 31 March | 8pm | £18 - £12.50 Choreographed by former Riverdance principal Breandán de Gallaí, Lïnger is a contemporary Irish show by two male dancers at opposite ends of their careers. Performed by Breandán de Gallaí and Nick O’Connell this is a powerfully tender and muscular exploration of Irish gay masculinity which unfolds through a rich mix of photography, film, music and movement. With a soundtrack ranging from classical to traditional and jazz, this is a 21st century reimagining of Irish dance. The Game: 1 April | 8pm | £18-£12.50 The Game explores the act of buying sex and the subculture of prostitution; its rules, language and power structures. This challenging show gives audiences an insight into a world that sits uncomfortably beneath the surface of our day-to-day lives. It is a play that’s also a real-life game, with levels and consequences. Five new men have volunteered each night. These men have never played ‘The Game’ before. They’ve no idea what they’re about to do, they won’t be given a script. All you have to do is watch. Age Guidance 18+ Contains adult themes, nudity, sexual references and violence. Release Your Inner Cartoonist: 15 April | 2:30pm & 11:30am |£9 (adult) £6 (child) Harry Venning, cartoonist and award winning comedy writer, best known for Clare In The Community (The Guardian strip and BBC Radio 4 sitcom) presents Release Your Inner Cartoonist. After two extremely successful and hugely enjoyable runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, and a sell-out performance at the Brighton festival, Venning is bringing his cartoon workshop to Belfast. The show/workshops involve an A1 flipchart, some marker pens, pencils and paper for the audience (all provided). The Train: 19–23 April | 7:45pm & 3pm| £25–£12.50 The Train is a fictional account of actual events surrounding the legendary ‘Contraceptive Train’. Determined to challenge the laws of the Irish State, a group of 47 trailblazing women take a train to Belfast and return to Dublin with forbidden contraceptives. It’s the story of the remarkable media coup orchestrated by the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement in 1971 that changed the social landscape of Ireland. This watershed moment is joyously captured by Arthur Riordan’s wit and Bill Whelan’s dynamic score. Direct from its run at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin. Don’t miss it. Tank: 20 – 21 April | 8pm | £18–£12.50 In 1965, an American scientist lived with a dolphin for ten weeks to try and teach him to speak English as part of a NASA- funded research project into human-animal communication. Condemned as an elaborate circus trick, these lessons remain a controversial episode in the space race between the two Cold War superpowers. The Fringe First award-winning Tank rips this history apart to explore the difficulties of bridging cultural divides, the politics behind the stories we tell and what happens when you inject a dolphin with LSD The Faerie Thorn: 25 - 29 April | 8pm & 3pm | £18 - £12.50 Based on the book The Faerie Thorn and Other Stories by Jane Talbot, The Faerie Thorn is a witty, dark and wickedly comedic show that recreates the author’s bewitching Faerie tales for adults. The stories are brought to life on stage in a vivid and dangerous world controlled by a complex fairy mafia. Expect to be propelled into a world of devilish debts, trysts and trades, broken bargains and unjust trials of magic, quick- wittedness, hoodwinking and revenge. A vibrant, contemporary production brought to you by Big Telly Theatre Company. Age guidance: 14+ Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival Scorch: 2 – 7 May | 8pm & 3pm |£18–£12.50 Don’t miss the award-winning show that astounded audiences at the MAC and at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. A story of first love through the eyes of a gender-curious teen. My Father’s Chair: 5-7 May | 7pm,6pm & 2pm| £9 (adult) £6 (child) A funny and heart-warming show for young audiences... and their families about the nature of fatherhood. What is it like to have a Dad? What’s it like to be a Dad? What makes the relationship between Dads and children unique and special? Age Guidance 6+ Countryfile’s Adam Henson: 12 May | 7.45pm |£25 - £12.50 Farmer and presenter from BBC TV’s Countryfile, Adam Henson is perhaps the best-known farmer in the UK, presenting to around 7 million viewers every Sunday evening. Join Adam as he shares stories about his farming life, his TV career, and the running of the Cotswold Farm Park, together with his thoughts on British Agriculture. There’ll be a chance to ask your own questions, followed by a post-show book signing. Waves: 18–19 May | 8pm |£18–£12.50 Waves is the story of Elizabeth Moncello: of her youth growing up on a small Australian island in the 1930s and how she came to be the unofficial inventor of the butterfly swimming stroke.
