Audiences at The Market Place Theatre in Armagh can look forward to a thrilling double-bill of drama to kick off the Autumn season of events.

Maggie Muff is back at The Market Place in the hilarious ‘Fifty Shades Of Red, White & Blue’. Her Facebook postings had Northern Ireland in fits of laughter last summer. It all started as a joke when Leesa Harker wrote a Belfast-based spoof of ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’. Very soon it went viral!

‘Fifty Shades Of Red, White & Blue’ tells the story of loveable Maggie Muff and her search for love, featuring laugh-out-loud characters such as ‘Big Sally Ann’, ‘Sinead The Greener’ and of course, the mysterious ‘Mr Red White And Blue’ himself. ‘Fifty Shades Of Red, White & Blue’ will be staged on Saturday 6^th and Sunday 7^th September at 8pm. Tickets are £18 each. Warning this show contains adult humour and strong language.

‘How To Keep An Alien’ is a story about falling in love and proving it to the government. Sonya Kelly is back with a tearfully funny, tender memoir about securing an Irish visa for her Australian partner. Join her madcap odyssey from the stony townlands of Offaly to the leafy depths of the Queensland bush. It’s a tricky business coming from opposite ends of the earth. It takes an Olympian will and the heart of whale, but above all else, paperwork. It takes a hell of a lot of paperwork. ‘How To Keep An Alien’ will be staged on Wednesday 16^th September at 8pm. Tickets are priced £12.50 and £10.50 (concession).
