There’s a packed programme of events at The Market Place Theatre in Armagh this weekend to kick your Halloween celebrations off with a bang.
You can’t see the Bee Gees anymore, but you can see ‘Nights On Broadway’ and still experience a concert of the incredible music written by the brothers Gibb. ‘Nights On Broadway’ presents a tribute to the Bee Gees through their catalogue of hits over four decades from the 60s to the 90s. The full live band blend the classic hits, acoustic medleys and dance floor fillers which define the show. This is a totally live concert experience which prides itself on musical, in particular vocal, authenticity, while the accompanying costume changes compliment the show to give audiences a truly original feeling. ‘Nights On Broadway’ will be staged on Thursday 27 October. Tickets are priced £16.
Isosceles Theatre Company returns for two nights of innovative drama with ‘Beckett’s Last Act’ on Friday 28th and ‘Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde’ on Saturday 29th. Tickets for each show are £13.50 and £11.50 (concession).
‘Beckett’s Last Act’ tells the true story of Mora Grey who worked alongside Samuel Beckett at the Royal Court Theatre in the 1970’s – what was he really like? We find out as we see Beckett in a theatre setting, deeply troubled by the latest production of his acclaimed play ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ with Albert Finney in the title role. It is the day of the first performance. Beckett’s looming presence disturbs the Director, the Designer, the Wardrobe Mistress, the Flyman and the Actor, a disturbance which leads to unexpected and tragic events.
‘Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde’ is a classic dark tale just in time for Halloween. Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story has enthralled and fascinated the world for more than a hundred years. An experiment to separate virtue from wickedness in his own nature results in the respectable Dr. Jekyll releasing the demon within: a malevolent force which will eventually possess him body and soul.
