A one-person show featuring Maria Connolly
Set in Belfast in the 1950’s and 60’s Two Sore
Legs is a powerful, autobiographical play.
Brenda Murphy’s mother Bridie, a young Butlin’s
Redcoat, had 6 children by a married man who
lived around the corner with his other family. The
play explores the pain, the joy and the fall-out
from this extraordinary family arrangement.
From the rowdy, fractious relationship Bridie had
with her own father to the explosive but hilarious
visits of the local Parish Priest, this play drips
explicit family emotions.

DU Dance (NI) presents a celebration of the best
of youth dance with performances from youth
dance groups from England, Ireland, Northern
Ireland and the National Youth Groups from
Scotland and Wales.
This showcase performance event will bring
to the stage a range of different pieces in a
variety of different styles showing the rich dance
heritage of these Isles expressed by young
people today.
A powerful and energy packed event for
families, young people and anyone with an
interest in dance.
Following the critical acclaim of The Producers, Oklahoma, and Les
Miserables, Peter Corry returns to Theatre at The Mill weaving his magic
by directing this new production of Irving Berlin’s classic musical Annie
Get Your Gun.
Annie Oakley is the best shot around, and when Buffalo Bill’s Wild West
Show comes to town he persuades this novel sharpshooter to join his Wild
West Show; it only takes one glance for Annie to fall head over heels for
the dashing star of the show, shooting ace Frank Butler. She soon eclipses
Butler as the main attraction and, nursing a bruised ego, he hightails it off
to join a rival show, eventually to be pitted against Annie in a final shootout. The rousing, sure-fire finale hits the mark every time in a testament to
the power of female ingenuity.
With a cast of professional actor musicians, and a live band on stage under
the musical direction of Matthew Reeve, this new production features the
all-time classic hits There’s No Business Like Show Business, Doin’ What
Comes Natur’lly, and Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better.
Come down, and celebrate the theatre’s fifth anniversary, experiencing the
best of Broadway in Newtownabbey this autumn.

stars as Leïla, the beautiful Hindu priestess
pursued by rival pearl divers competing for her
hand. Her suitors are tenor Matthew Polenzani
and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, who sing the
lilting duet Au fond du temple saint, which
opera fans know and adore. Director Penny
Woolcock explores the timeless themes of pure
love, betrayal, and vengeance in a production
that vividly creates an undersea world on
the stage of the Met. Conductor Gianandrea
Noseda brings his romantic flair to the lush
score from the composer of Carmen.

transforms herself into a Parisian temptress,
while Kaufmann is the dashing student who
desperately woos her. Director Richard Eyre
places the action in occupied France in a film
noir setting. “Desperate passion” is the phrase
Puccini himself used to describe the opera
that confirmed his position as the preeminent
Italian opera composer of his day. Met Principal
Conductor Fabio Luisi leads the stirring score.

Time: 6pm
Soprano Sondra
Radvanovsky takes on the
extraordinary challenge
of singing all three of
Donizetti’s Tudor queens
in the course of a single
season, a rare feat made
famous by Beverly Sills—
and not attempted on a
New York stage since. On
screen, in this climactic
opera of the trilogy, she plays Queen Elizabeth
I, forced to sign the death warrant of the
nobleman she loves, Roberto Devereux. Tenor
Matthew Polenzani is Devereux, and mezzosoprano Elina Garanca and baritone Mariusz
Kwiecien complete the principal quartet in the
bel canto masterpiece, conducted by Donizetti
specialist Maurizio Benini. As with the earlier
Anna Bolena and Maria Stuarda, the production
is by Sir David McVicar, who with this staging
completes an enormously ambitious directorial
accomplishment..

The genius director Patrice
Chéreau (From the House
of the Dead) didn’t live
to see his great Elektra
production, previously
presented in Aix and
Milan, make it to the
stage of the Met. But his
overpowering vision lives
on with soprano Nina Stemme—unmatched
today in the heroic female roles of Strauss
and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal
quest for vengeance for the murder of her
father, Agamemnon. Legendary mezzo-soprano
Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra’s fearsome
mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne
Pieczonka and bass-baritone Eric Owens are

Back in Belfast, Mum Mary is up to her eyes stuffing the turkey, with Dad
Joe, who has enlisted the help of a cheeky bottle of Baileys, under strict
orders to dress the tree. Meanwhile, Mary’s younger sister, Mags, really

Christmas is a stressful time of year and nothing could be more festively
frantic than a Big Fat Belfast Christmas. Will Mum Mary manage to stuff
the turkey and preserve her secret and her sanity? Will Dad Joe ever
learn how to pronounce Youcef correctly? Will Mags ever stop flirting
with yummy Youcef? And will Youcef suppress his desire to perform Abba
classics around the Christmas table?
Join Ma, Da, Mary, Mags, Youcef and all their friends in My Big Fat Belfast

Time: 7.30pm
Directed by Martin Lynch
Original Direction by Noreen Kershaw
A one-person show featuring Maria Connolly.
Set in Belfast in the 1950’s and 60’s Two Sore
Legs is a powerful, autobiographical play.
Brenda Murphy’s mother Bridie, a young Butlin’s
Redcoat, had 6 children by a married man who
lived around the corner with his other family. The
play explores the pain, the joy and the fall-out
from this extraordinary family arrangement.
From the rowdy, fractious relationship Bridie had
with her own father to the explosive but hilarious
visits of the local Parish Priest, this play drips
explicit family emotions.

‘She’s as good as it gets. She’s as good as the
best…’
Gerry Anderson, BBC Radio Ulster
Susan Boyle loves wine. What’s more, she
knows what she is drinking and talking about.
She’s got 2,000 years of Irish wine history to
back her up. So, sit back, let her pour you a
glass while she takes you on a trip with the
tenacious Irish people who transformed the wine
world and didn’t let coming from a grape free
land stop them!
From Gweedore, Jacqui Sharkey creates
heartfelt songs and sings them with her
captivating voice. Multi-talented traditional
songwriter Ian Smith moved from Scotland
to Donegal some eighteen years ago and in
that time has become an important part of its
musical landscape. Hailing from Killybegs, Jody
Gallagher has a blues and Americana sound, and
writes sharp lyrics with well-crafted melodies.
Together they create a magical traditional sound
to become much more than a sum of their
differing parts.

on an incredible sloping stage by Patrick Lynch
of CBeebies fame! Using smoke, mirrors and
hidden trapdoors, he’ll show how this surefooted feline fools both the King and the Ogre to

Shooting for Socrates is a David and Goliath
story set in Belfast against the backdrop of the
1986 World Cup. In a Northern Ireland divided
on religious lines, nine-year-old Tommy learns to
make sense of his world through his passion for
football and his father’s love of Greek philosophy.
Emma Woodhouse is handsome, clever and
rich. She’s also a bit of a meddler. After her
governess marries (with Emma’s help of course)
it is clear that Miss Woodhouse must become
a matchmaker. Who better to start with than
unpolished Harriet Smith? With her help, who
knows how far Miss Smith could reach?
This joyous comedy is about following your
dreams, no matter where you come from,
and losing your heart to the “beautiful game”.
Starring Richard Dormer, Bronagh Gallagher
and Conleth Hill, this is a heartwarming and
unmissable movie.
But as her interfering gets out of hand, it may
be time for Emma to question her judgement.
Advised by friend Mr Knightley, can Emma
untangle the web she’s spun? And what does
she truly know of her own heart?

This Swedish trio’s music is a force of nature,
both delicate and intensely energetic; the perfect
marriage of three instrumental “voices”, the
nyckelharpa, the viola and an alternatively-tuned
12-string guitar. Olov Johansson’s nyckelharpa
is central to the group. Unique to Sweden, its
combination of fiddle-style bowing, keys and
strings, produces a singing sound like no other
instrument. The trio have spent 25 years touring
worldwide, winning fans wherever they go - in
Bloomington, Indiana, there is even a street
named after them. Put simply, the brilliant
musicianship, fleet-fingered invention, damned
catchy tunes and constant surprise, make the
Nordic trio an absolute pleasure to witness.
Written and performed by Aidan Dooley
Tom Crean (1877 – 1938), the intrepid Antarctic
explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes is
brought to life in this dramatic and humorous
solo performance by Aidan Dooley. The show
has been selling out and gaining rave reviews
across the world since 2001 as Dooley portrays
the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic
explorations as one of the few men to serve
both Scott and Shackleton and survive three
famous expeditions: Discovery, Terra Nova and
Endurance. His story is a testament of human
fortitude against all the elements of Antarctica

production of one of Shakespeare’s classic
plays, The Merchant of Venice, in which good
triumphs over evil.
Using their winning edited and fast-moving
style, this strong company of six actors, directed

bringing more theatrical appeal and interest to
this sophisticated narrative.

Palermo. Directed by Guy Retallack
The iconic story of idealist George Bailey, whose
dreams look set to be dashed by small-town
scandal and big business. Alone on a bridge,
he decides that everyone would be better off
without him… or would they? It falls to hapless
guardian angel, Clarence, to try and save him.
“Inspired! A lovely adaptation that’s both cleverly
witty and movingly heartfelt”

that she was named Snow White. The wicked
stepmother wanted to be the most beautiful lady
in the kingdom and she would often ask her
magic mirror, “Mirror! Mirror on the wall! Who
is the fairest of them all?” And the magic mirror
would say, “You are, Your Majesty!” But one day,
the mirror replied, “Snow White is the fairest of
them all!” The wicked queen was very angry and
