BECOME A MEMBER One of Brian Friel’s most enduring plays, Faith Healer returns in a production that brings together three acclaimed Northern Irish actors, Conleth Hill, Lisa Dwyer Hogg and Chris McCurry. Faith Healer weaves an extraordinary tale of a travelling healer who, after making his way through Wales and Scotland, returns to his homeland of Ireland in the hope of regaining his fading powers. Frank Hardy offers miracle cures to the sick and suffering, but as a man who is part showman, part shaman, his gift is astonishing and dangerously unreliable. Frank, his wife Grace, and his manager Teddy, each recounts their shared life on the road. As their memories clash and competing versions of the past emerge, Friel’s spellbinding prose crafts a powerful and haunting exploration of memory, belief and the stories we tell. Hailed by The Guardian (2024) as one of the greatest plays of the twentieth century, this play has captivated audiences internationally since its 1979 Broadway premiere. Experience the compelling revival of Friel’s masterpiece return to Belfast as part of the Lyric Theatre’s 75th anniversary season. "A quietly devastating study of pain recollected and the transfiguring nature of memory. It is one of those rare works of art audiences are destined to recall as a deeply personal experience, and you'll find yourself trying to sort out the different visions of reality… long after the play is over." — The New York Times The Company Lisa Dwyer Hogg Grace Conleth Hill Frank Hardy Chris McCurry Teddy Brian Friel Writer Emma Jordan Director Stuart Marshall Set Designer Paul Keogan Lighting Designer Enda Kenny Costume Designer Garth McConaghie Composer & Sound Designer Close Date & Times Date & Times Date Time Fri 30 Oct 2026 19:30 Limited Availability Sat 31 Oct 2026 14:30 Sold Out Sat 31 Oct 2026 19:30 Choose seats Sun 01 Nov 2026 14:30 Limited Availability Tue 03 Nov 2026 19:30 Choose seats Wed 04 Nov 2026 19:30 Choose seats Thu 05 Nov 2026 14:30 Choose seats Thu 05 Nov 2026 19:30 Choose seats Fri 06 Nov 2026 19:30 Limited Availability Sat 07 Nov 2026 14:30 Sold Out Sat 07 Nov 2026 19:30 Limited Availability Sun 08 Nov 2026 14:30 Audio Described Choose seats Tue 10 Nov 2026 19:30 Choose seats Wed 11 Nov 2026 19:30 Captioned Choose seats Thu 12 Nov 2026 14:30 Choose seats Thu 12 Nov 2026 19:30 Choose seats Fri 13 Nov 2026 19:30 Limited Availability Sat 14 Nov 2026 14:30 Limited Availability Sat 14 Nov 2026 19:30 Limited Availability Reviews “One of the best productions of Faith Healer you’re ever likely to see” “Luminous revival of Brian Friel's Masterpiece” “Beautifully Crafted”

Pride and Prejudice and 80’s Hits!

Waterfront Studio · Theatre & dance
Pride and Prejudice and 80's Hits! returns to the Waterfront Hall after sold-out world premiere from 05 - 07 November 2026! After three sold-out performances, standing ovations every night and rave reactions from audiences, Pride and Prejudice and 80's Hits! is returning to the Waterfront Hall this November. Kaleidoscope has announced that its hit new musical will be back for a limited three-performance run, giving audiences another opportunity to experience the production that had Belfast laughing, cheering, dancing in the aisles and singing along. The world premiere in May exceeded all expectations, selling out every performance and earning enthusiastic praise from both audiences and critics. Now, due to overwhelming public demand, the company is bringing the production back to the city's premier entertainment venue. A fresh and joyful reimagining of Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice and 80's Hits! combines the wit and romance of one of literature's greatest love stories with the unforgettable soundtrack of the 1980s. Packed with iconic pop anthems, colourful characters and plenty of laughs, the show has quickly established itself as one of Northern Ireland's newest musical theatre success stories. Writer and director Kerry Rooney MBE said: We were overwhelmed by the respon se to the premiere. Every performance had an incredible atmosphere, with audiences on their feet singing and dancing along by the finale. "The reaction has been beyond anything we could have hoped for, so we're absolutely delighted to be bringing the show back to the Waterfront Hall." Kerry continued: "The wonderful thing about this production is that it appeals to so many people. Whether you're a lifelong Jane Austen fan, you grew up with the music of the 1980s, or you simply enjoy a great night at the theatre, there's something for everyone. We're looking forward to welcoming back those who saw the show in May, while introducing it to audiences who have been hearing what all the buzz is about." Featuring a talented local cast, dazzling costumes, energetic choreography and a soundtrack filled with some of the biggest hits of the decade, Pride and Prejudice and 80's Hits! transforms Austen's timeless tale into an unforgettable feel-good musical. For those who missed out on tickets during the sold-out premiere - or simply want to experience the magic again - this November's performances offer the perfect opportunity. Thursday Performance in Aid of NI Children’s Hospice We’re delighted to announce that all proceeds from the Thursday night performance of Pride and Prejudice and 80’s Hits! will go to NI Children’s Hospice , supporting the vital work they do for children and families across Northern Ireland.
