Lyric Theatre – Spring at the Lyric Theatre – Shows and Events to book now!
Spring has sprung!
The theatre is positively buzzing this March with activity.
From three new shows as part of the Belfast Children’s Festival, to the upcoming fundraising event Seisiún, to plenty of pre-and post-show events as part of the new production of Agreement, marking the 25th anniversary of The Good Friday Agreement, there are plenty of reasons to visit your ‘Theatre of the Year’ this month.
We can’t wait to see you!
A Lyric Theatre Production
Agreement
25/03 – 22/04
The clock is ticking. It’s April 1998 and the main political parties in Northern Ireland, the British Government and the Irish Government, all under the watchful eye of Senator George Mitchell, try to hammer out a deal that could pave the way for peace in Northern Ireland. Every word, every movement, every stare means something. This is the last chance saloon and no one is leaving until Agreement is reached one way or another.
A Lyric Theatre Fundraiser
Seisiún
12/03/2023
Award-winning Northern Irish actor and singer Fra Fee presents Seisiún, a night of stories and songs from the world of theatre and folk, with his band and guest artists lending their talents to the evening. Guest stars include Duke Special, Trudy O’Donnell, Brian Kennedy and Simon Callow. All proceeds from the evening will go towards the Lyric’s vital fundraising to support our education programme in schools and community groups across Northern Ireland.
Due to popular demand digital tickets are now also available for this event.
