Bouncing back for a two-week run at the MAC, John Godber\u2019s unapologetically provocative play can be experienced once again, in the exclusive setting of the Luminaire Club. Running from 21<\/strong>st<\/strong><\/sup> September until the 5<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> October, Bouncers is a unique co-production between the MAC and Big Telly \u2013 a world famous play, told the Belfast way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set over\nthe course of one night in a 1980s nightclub, Bouncers is a darkly funny play\nabout the characters and shenanigans of a Belfast disco, told in Northern\nIreland\u2019s distinctive humour by the club\u2019s doormen. This \u2018slick, atmospheric\nproduction\u2019 (The Stage, \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605) runs close to the bone,\nhighlighting some dark references mirrored with 80s nostalgia. High-energy\nperformances are coupled with an amazing era-specific soundtrack that takes the\nproduction in an ominously funny direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New\nbouncer, the acclaimed Sean Kearns will join the original trio of NI\u2019s finest\ncomedic actors Ciaran Nolan, Conor Grimes and Chris Robinson, putting a new\nspin on the quick-witted show. All the familiar characters from a typical night\non the tiles make an appearance and, of course \u2013 the brilliantly brash bouncers\ntell each of their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticket\nholders can experience the show within the exclusive Luminaire Club, which transform\nthe MAC\u2019s usual theatre space into an intimate jazz-club experience. For a\ngreat night out, customers can enjoy the show from premium cabaret seating\ncomplete with at table waiter service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nMAC\u2019s Creative Director, Simon Magill said:\u201cBouncers\nhas been described as one of the funniest plays written in the last 40 years,\nbut also promises to be a no-holds barred theatre experience. We were overwhelmed\nwith the response to the show in April, and are delighted to have Bouncers\nreturn to our stage this Autumn.  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are especially excited to introduce a new twist to the play\nwith the addition of renowned actor Sean Kearns, playing Lucky Eric. We\u2019re sure\nthat he will only add to the magic that was created on stage by the Big Telly\ncreative team and existing cast members Conor Grimes, Ciaran Nolan and Chris\nRobinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike the previous run, the immersive 80s soundtrack will take you back\nin time, especially as we are hosting the play in our intimate Luminaire Club\nto echo that eclectic vibe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
