AGREEMENT by Owen McCafferty
Directed by Charlotte Westenra
AGREEMENT is set in April 1998 as 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.
AGREEMENT is produced by Belfast’s Lyric Theatre, and was first produced as part of the events to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. The production was nominated for a UK Theatre award for Best New Play and won three BroadwayWorld Ireland Awards including Best Director. The production will run as part of the 2024 Dublin Theatre Festival.
THE BORROWERS by Mary Norton
Adapted for the stage by Charles Way
Music and Lyrics by Fionn Foley
Directed by Róisín McBrinn
Based on Mary Norton’s beloved novels, THE BORROWERS follows the fortunes of the tiny Clock Family. The Clocks live secretly in the walls and floors of a country house and “borrow” from the big people in order to survive.
Their lives are plunged into chaos one day when the family’s youngest member, independent 11-year-old Arrietty, is seen by a ‘human bean’, a boy who has recently returned from India. To survive, the Clocks must spread their wings and take a perilous and adventure-filled journey into the outside world to find a new home and search out their long-lost family members.
This Irish Premiere production of THE BORROWERS will be directed by the Gate Theatre’s Artistic Director Róisín McBrinn. The show, adapted from Norton’s novels by Charles Way, will contain songs written and composed by Fionn Foley.
