The Market Place Theatre in Armagh is entering one of its busiest times of the year, with a bumper line-up of drama, comedy, music and kids shows on the cards over the coming weeks.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ireland\u2019s Greatest Voices, The Three Tenors, will perform fabulous hit songs and a popular uplifting mix from Sinatra, Leonard Cohen, The Dubliners, and Pavarotti. Declan Kelly, Ray O\u2019Hare and Dominic McGorian, promise you a night to remember! This thrilling fast-moving concert is packed with the world\u2019s most beautiful, magical feel-good and uplifting songs. Hear the hits \u2018I Believe\u2019 \u2018She\u2019, \u2018Let It Be\u2019, and from Sinatra \u2018My Way\u2019, \u2018New York, New York\u2019, Leonard Cohen \u2018Hallelujah\u2019, Pavarotti\u2019s \u2018Nessun Dorma\u2019 and The Dubliners \u2018Song For Ireland\u2019. The Three Tenors will take to the stage at The Market Place on Saturday 8th<\/sup> March at 8pm. Tickets are priced \u00a318 each.<\/p>\n

Since forming a few years ago, Petunia & The Vipers have been very busy bringing their exciting and highly original brand of roots music to an ever increasing audience, and on Saturday 8th<\/sup> March, they perform at The Market Place. They have eight tours down America\u2019s West Coast under their belts and recently toured for a month in the UK and Ireland to rave reviews. Petunia defies convention. His style is unique and surreal and his live performances have been likened to an Avant-Country nightclub scene from a David Lynch movie. Petunia\u2019s music is infectious, his singing ranges from the most delicate you\u2019ve ever heard to the most powerful, often within a single song. Hillbilly flavoured, swing inflected, ragtime, goodtime music. Make sure to cross paths with the wandering musician. Tickets are priced \u00a310 each.<\/p>\n

Drama fans will be delighted with the double bill of drama on stage next week. First up is \u2018A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man\u2019. The classic James Joyce tale of Stephen Dedalus follows the young man during his formative years as he breaks away from the Irish Catholic conventions of his past to become an artist who makes the life-changing decision to leave Ireland. The production is directed by Jimmy Fay, an Associate Artist of The Abbey Theatre, and will be staged on Tuesday 11th<\/sup> March at 8pm. Tickets are priced \u00a310 each.<\/p>\n

Brian Friel\u2019s \u2018Molly Sweeney\u2019 then arrives at The Market Place on Wednesday 12th<\/sup> and Thursday 13th<\/sup> March. Blind since infancy, Molly Sweeney is persuaded to have an operation to restore her sight. Her husband Frank is convinced she has nothing to lose; her ophthalmologist Mr Rice is not so sure. The play charts their expectations and fantasies of how the operation will change everything, not just for Molly, but for all three of them. Brian Friel’s rarely performed poetic tale weaves together all three characters’ perspectives. Through a journey of memory, hope and despair, the play begs us to not only see, but also understand other people’s points of view. Tickets for this production are priced \u00a314.50 and \u00a312.50 (concession).<\/p>\n
