The Market Place Theatre in Armagh is continuing its Autumn season of sensational dramas with two classic, timeless dramas, both guaranteed audience pleasers.
‘An Evening Of Irish Horror’ is the perfect, cosy scare for when the air gets cold and the night grows dark. Two classic Irish spook stories reanimated in the darkness, with live music. In ‘Dracula’s Guest’, the missing prologue from Bram Stoker’s masterpiece, Jonathan Harker finds himself under the watchful eye of an unknown force, while in an unknown country. While in J.S. Le Fanu’s classic, ‘Green Tea’, a village curate is driven to the brink of madness by terrible visions, but is there something unusual in his mind or in his drink.
‘An Evening Of Irish Horror’ will be staged on Thursday 22nd October at 8pm. Tickets are priced £13 and £11 (concession).
London Classic Theatre Company return to The Market Place on Thursday 29th October with the classic, ‘Waiting For Godot’. A country road. A tree. Evening. Vladimir and Estragon meet as dusk approaches. Estragon tries to remove his boot. Vladimir examines his hat. A conversation begins, a joke is interrupted. A carrot is eaten. The two men quarrel, then embrace. Unannounced, two eccentric travellers arrive. Seemingly master and servant, one stands weighed down at the end of a long rope, the other carries a whip.
So begins Samuel Beckett’s sixty-year-old masterpiece ‘Waiting For Godot’, a ground-breaking, anarchic meditation on the meaning of life and death. Part allegory, part burlesque,
Beckett’s unique, timeless play moves seamlessly between absurdist comic sketch and captivating philosophical drama. In 1999, it was voted the most significant English language play of the 20th Century. Tickets are priced £14.50 and £12.50 with special rates for school groups.
