Lyric Theatre Belfast announces co-performance of 'The Colleen Bawn'

The Lyric Theatre and Bruiser Theatre Company are back together for the first time since The 39 Steps, for this madcap, melodramatic, musical co-production. Originally written by Dion Boucicault, the exuberant story twists through betrayal, duty and desire.

In a statement from the executive producer of the Lyric, Jimmy Fay, he stated that "Don Boucicault’s The Colleen Bawn is a masterpiece of melodrama. It is as spritely and lovely as any ballad and has proved to be a timeless engaging entertainment captivating audiences in its outrageous plots and musical interludes since it first premiered in New York in 1860. We in the Lyric are delighted to again partner with Bruiser and their distinctive style on this wonderful play."

Director of the Bruiser Theatre Company, Lisa May, meanwhile commented "Audiences can expect [a] madcap melodrama, as our mischievous and musical cast fill the stage with laughs, love, and live music. It’s been an absolute hoot to rehearse this timeless piece, and we’re sure audiences will enjoy the fast-paced fun as much as we do!"

'The Colleen Bawn' runs from 7th – 28th April. Tuesdays to Saturdays, doors open at 7.45pm. There is also a weekend matinee on Saturday and Sunday, which is at 2.30pm.
