Joanna MacGregor is thought of as one of the world\u2019s most wide-ranging and innovative musicians, and she\u2019s now set for The Market Place Theatre in Armagh.<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>She has appeared as a concert pianist in over 70 countries, and has performed at the world\u2019s most prestigious venues including Wigmore Hall and Southbank, Sydney Opera House, the Mozarteum and the Concertgebouw. She has made over 30 solo recordings ranging from Bach, Ravel, and Debussy to jazz and contemporary. Joanna\u2019s concert on Wednesday 1st<\/sup> April will feature an exciting and varied programme including works by Bach, Shostakovich, Chopin, a new commission by an Irish composer and six tangos by Piazzolla, arranged by MacGregor. This is a special chance to hear one of the world\u2019s finest concert pianists. Tickets are priced \u00a315 or \u00a313 (concession) with the option to include tapas and wine for an additional \u00a36.<\/p>\n

Big Telly make a welcome return to The Market Place on Saturday 4th<\/sup> April, following their previous visits with \u2018Melmoth The Wanderer\u2019, \u2018Playboy Of The Western World\u2019 and \u2018The Colleen Bawn\u2019. In their new production, \u2018One Sandwich Short Of A Genius\u2019, a ridiculously normal family is in absolute denial about the things they don’t mention. Mum is so determined to keep up appearances that when Dad leaves her \u2018to find himself\u2019, she hires an actor to replace him. It’s a perfect solution to an embarrassing situation, as long as she uses her imagination to find the extra cash. Luckily, the daughter\u2019s far too busy planning the happiest day of her life to notice, but the son smells so many rats he’s a loose cannon who must be kept behind closed doors. Will keeping the cat in the bag and the skeletons in the cupboard whilst avoiding the elephant in the room tip them all over the edge? Or is it the best move she’s ever made… Tickets are priced \u00a312.50 or \u00a310.50 (concession).<\/p>\n

Following the highly acclaimed \u2018Adolf\u2019, \u2018Animal Farm\u2019, and \u2018Anthem For A Doomed Youth\u2019, Guy Masterson Productions return to Armagh on Friday 10th<\/sup> April with \u2018Bill Clinton Hercules\u2019. Come and meet the 42nd President as he cuts loose and shoots straight from the hip in his own fantasy TED talk! From the Trojan Wars to the future of democracy, his dreams, regrets, hopes and passions, Hillary and Monica\u2026 Beloved stained icon and reviled Slick Willy. A life epic in its own right, but what will be Bubba\u2019s final act? Can the Comeback Kid come back? Tickets are priced \u00a312.50 or \u00a310.50 (concession).<\/p>\n
