Written & Performed by Geraldine Hughes
Stage Production Directed by Emmy Award winner Carol Kane
Filmed at Lyric Theatre, Belfast

Passionate, riveting and often humorous, Belfast Blues is a tapestry of autobiographical stories told from Geraldine Hughes’s perspective as a little girl coming of age in the war-torn Belfast of the 1980s. These stories bear insightful witness to the many faces of “trying to live a normal life” amidst the violence born of the longstanding conflict between Catholics and Protestants. At thirteen, Hughes temporarily left “The Troubles” to star in a TV movie, “Children in the Crossfire,” directed by George Schaefer, only to return home to a different kind of confusion and pain.

This enchanting new British musical explores the extraordinary world of a sorcerer and his rebellious daughter, as she discovers the explosive possibilities of her newfound magical powers.

Against the backdrop of the Northern Lights, a small town has been pushed to the brink of collapse in a bid for progress and prosperity.

A Poetical Stroll through The National Gallery of London
Poems by Paul Durcan
Starring Dermot Crowley & Tony Award nominee Dearbhla Molloy
Directed by Jamie Beamish
Filmed at The Coronet Theatre, London

In this special virtual reimagining of Give Me Your Hand, two of Ireland’s finest actors, Dermot Crowley and Dearbhla Molloy, take audiences on a virtual stroll through London’s National Gallery, discovering afresh the Museum’s masterpieces from Van Gogh and Van Eyck, to Rubens and Gainsborough. With humor and grace, Crowley and Molloy breathe fresh life into each painting’s subjects with poetic stories from renowned Irish poet Paul Durcan.

Through anything and everything, theatre has always been a place to find common ground—and true connection. This past December, the Broadway cast of the 15-time Tony Award®-nominated Jagged Little Pill reunited for a live concert in NYC to bring audiences just that.

On March 6, as we approach the one-year anniversary of Broadway’s unprecedented shut down, join us for a special encore airing of the evening, for an electrifying dose of collective joy and a reminder of art’s ability to heal.

Spend the evening alongside Kathryn, Celia, Derek, Sean, Lauren, Elizabeth, Antonio and others, along with the Jagged Little Broadway Band, as they perform selections from the show.

In A Touch of the Poet, proud and tempestuous Cornelius Melody (Con) owns a run-down inn and tavern near Boston in 1828.

The cast of A Touch of the Poet includes Belle Aykroyd (A Christmas Carol) as Sara Melody, Ciaran Byrne (The Dead, 1904) as Dan Roche, Robert Cuccioli (Jekyll & Hyde) as Cornelius “Con” Melody, Kate Forbes (Sight Unseen) as Nora Melody, Mary McCann (The Weir) as Deborah, Andy Murray (The Seafarer) as Cregan, David O’Hara (Three Small Irish Masterpieces) as Paddy O’Dowd, Tim Ruddy (The Seafarer) as Mickey Maloy, David Sitler (Donnybrook) as Patch Riley and John C.
