What's on at the Lyric

[Lyric Theatre Belfast]

Coming up at the Lyric this festive season... Penguins 18 - 22 Dec 2019  Alongside our Lyric festive productions - Peter Pan & Driving Home for Christmas - we are delighted to welcome Cahoots NI to the Lyric with the perfect Christmas show for younger families 3+ When being different brings the most wonderful of surprises... Roy and Silo are two male Chinstrap penguins. Just like the other penguin pairs at Central Park Zoo, they walk, play, swim and dance together. When the duo decide to try and hatch a rock in place of an egg, they find themselves on an adventure that could mean raising a chick for real! Penguins is a unique and engaging show for children about friendship, fun, identity and the ever-changing meaning of family. This delightful theatre and dance production is inspired by a true story reported in the New York Times that touched hearts worldwide. This is a non-verbal production and would be suitable for deaf and hard of hearing audiences. Produced by Cahoots NI, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and Prime Theatre The Fetch Wilson 8 - 9 November This thrilling new play brings you to places you shouldn't go (but want to) while asking one question...how well do you really know yourself? Inspired by the world of Edgar Allan Poe, The Fetch Wilson is an exciting collaboration between The Corps Ensemble and award-winning writer Stewart Roche (Revenant, The Snake Eaters, Tracer).  Produced by The Corps Ensemble Carrying David 10 November Inspired by the love of his terminally ill brother David, on June 3, 1989, Glenn McCrory (of Tyrone ancestry) made boxing history, becoming the Cruiserweight Champion of the World. Funny and heartbreaking, Carrying David is a remarkable one-man play reflecting the highs and many lows of Glenn's unrelenting drive and incredible sacrifice to become the very first world champion from the North East of England.  Two brothers: one fighting for his fame, the other fighting for his life! Having premiered at the Tyneside Irish Cultural Centre before storming the North East of England in June, Carrying David will transfer to the 1200-seat Newcastle Theatre Royal next April. Don't miss this Irish transfer of what will become a modern classic. Produced by David Hull Promotions & Ed Waugh  FRA FEE: SEISIÚN 22 November Fra Fee is an award winning Irish actor and singer currently appearing as Owen in the National Theatre’s acclaimed production of Translations by Brian Friel.
