Drama fans are in for a treat as The Market Place Theatre\u2019s Autumn season gets off to a flying start this September.<\/h1>\n

\"\"2017 is the centenary of Buster Keaton’s debut screen appearance. Beloved by everyone from Samuel Beckett to Jackie Chan, his beautiful silent films remain as funny as when they were first screened, and \u2018Buster Keaton @ 100\u2019 offers an endearing memorial to the icon. Two of Northern Ireland’s most eccentric noisemakers, Colin Reid and Reggie Chamberlain-King, are writing all-new scores for some of Buster’s funniest short films, performed live on a wide variety of instruments, with sound effects, and a bit of audience participation. Colin is one of Ireland’s premier guitarists and pianists, who composed \u2018The Third Policeman\u2019. Reggie\u2019s work as Sound Effects Artist been broadcast on BBC Radios 3 and 4 and in the USA and Canada.<\/p>\n

For two nights on 27 and 28 September, \u2018Dirty Dusting\u2019 offers a searing indictment of ageism in the 21st<\/sup> Century heavily disguised as a hysterical, laugh-out-loud, heart-warming comedy. When three cleaners, Olive, Gladys and Elsie, are threatened with redundancy they feel that their lives are coming to an end until a chance wrong number gives them a new business start-up idea \u2013 why not run a telephone sex line? They\u2019ve got motive, opportunity and a lifetime of experience \u2013 some more than others, mind you. Provided Elsie can teach the other two a few new tricks, there\u2019s no reason why they can\u2019t get rich quick providing they can keep their operation a secret from their bosses\u2026 and their husbands\u2026and their children\u2026and their grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Hotbuckle Theatre Company bring their unique magic to the powerful and emotional story \u2018Wuthering Heights\u2019. When Cathy\u2019s father brings home an orphaned Heathcliff, the effect will echo for generations. Emily Bronte\u2019s only novel, set on the windswept Yorkshire moors, is a timeless Gothic classic of passionate love, revenge and despair. \u2018Wuthering Heights\u2019 will be staged on Thursday 12 October.<\/p>\n
