This weekend at The Market Place sees Shakespeare, Shaw and superb music to meet your entertainment needs.
There is no greater way to celebrate Shakespeare’s 400th Anniversary than with C21 Theatre Company as they bring Shakespeare magnificently to life on stage with the much-loved ‘Macbeth’. Edited and directed by Arthur Webb, this fast-moving production follows the eventful life of the evil Scottish warrior and his power-hungry wife. Prophecy, witchcraft, murder and revenge all play a part in their tragic demise and guarantee a captivating production for audiences of all ages. Macbeth will be staged on Thursday 13 October at 7.30pm. Tickets are £13.50 and £11.50 (concession).
On Friday 14 October, London Irish Theatre present ‘Bernard Shaw Invites You’, a one-man show about the author of ‘Pygmalion’ that went on to be a huge screen hit ‘My Fair Lady’ starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison. Playwright, orator, novelist, critic, essayist, politician, energetic self-publicist, controversialist – George Bernard Shaw, as he styled himself, divides opinion today as he did in his lifetime. In this award-winning show the man himself invites you to celebrate his 90th birthday on the 26th July 1946. However, his celebrations are rudely interrupted by Paddy O’Keeffe, an obsessive Shavian who is determined to discover the real Bernard Shaw. Tickets are £13.50 and £11.50 (concession).
The 4 Of Us return on Saturday 15 October at 8pm. The musical career of Newry-born brothers Brendan and Declan Murphy spans more than two decades. They shot to early fame with their debut ‘Songs For The Tempted’, which featured the massive hits ‘Mary’ and ‘Drag My Bad Name Down’. The follow up ‘Man Alive’ made Q magazines ‘Top 50 albums’ and included the UK Top 30 song ‘She Hits Me’. The Murphy brothers have notched up an enviable catalogue of timeless songs and six top 20 Irish charting albums, and their music has also been featured extensively on American, British, and Irish TV soundtracks. Their new album ‘Sugar Island’ is being released in September 2016. Tickets are priced £15 each.
