Two classic Irish spook stories reanimated in the darkness, with live music. In \u2018Dracula&#8217;s Guest\u2019, the missing prologue from Bram Stoker&#8217;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&#8217;s classic, \u2018Green Tea\u2019, 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018An Evening Of Irish Horror\u2019 will be staged on Thursday 22<sup>nd<\/sup> October at 8pm. Tickets are priced \u00a313 and \u00a311 (concession).<\/p>\n<p>London Classic Theatre Company return to The Market Place on Thursday 29<sup>th<\/sup> October with the classic, \u2018Waiting For Godot\u2019. 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.<\/p>\n<p>So begins Samuel Beckett\u2019s sixty-year-old masterpiece \u2018Waiting For Godot\u2019, a ground-breaking, anarchic meditation on the meaning of life and death. Part allegory, part burlesque,<\/p>\n<p>Beckett\u2019s 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 \u00a314.50 and \u00a312.50 with special rates for school groups.<\/p>\n<p>Details of all events can be found online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketplacearmagh.com\">www.marketplacearmagh.com<\/a>, and tickets can be booked by contacting the Box Office on [028] 3752 1821.<\/p>\n<p>And to keep up-to-date with the latest news at the Market Place Theatre, you can follow us on Facebook (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/marketplacearmagh\">www.facebook.com\/marketplacearmagh<\/a>) and Twitter (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/mptarmagh\">www.twitter.com\/mptarmagh<\/a>) where you will find all the latest information, special offers and video previews.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Market Place Theatre in Armagh is continuing its Autumn season of sensational dramas with two classic, timeless dramas, both guaranteed audience pleasers. \u2018An Evening Of Irish Horror\u2019 is the perfect, cosy scare for when the air gets cold and the night grows dark.
