HOLYWOOD PLAYERS PRESENT

Deathtrap A

Fri 25 Aug | 8.00pm | £15.00 | £13.00 [conc]

In this acclaimed dark comedic thriller, washedup playwright Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a successful play in years and money is getting tight.

Sidney recognises the script immediately as a sure-fire hit and his ticket back to Broadway success. The only issue is, does Clifford want to share the credit... and what will Sydney do if he doesn’t?

Holding the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway, and nominated for four Tony awards including Best Play, ‘Deathtrap’ will keep you on the edge of your seats. Full of twists and turns, shocks and surprises, you will be holding your breath until the very last moment.

Join us down on Old MacDonald’s Farm for fun, songs and excitement.

Ian Thomson has been performing stand-up comedy since 2017 from Ireland to as far away as New Zealand. With his absurdist take on everything from politics to parenthood, Ian has established himself as a force on the NI comedy scene, appearing alongside some of the biggest acts on the local circuit.

Andrew Ryan’s quintessentially Irish storytelling abilities and cheeky, friendly demeanour make him a natural stand up. He has performed to rave reviews and sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival over the last decade as well as appearing in numerous TV comedy appearances.

Luke McGibbon has been performing standup on and off for the guts of a decade, in between stints as a psychotherapist. One job for talking, one job for listening! Luke’s whimsical sense of humour has entertained many up and down the country.

Bronagh Diamond has made a big impression on the Northern Irish comedy scene since she started. With a penchant for random tangential rants, this self-professed ‘ambassador for crazy people’ has the stage confidence and attitude of a pro.

Friendly Sammy Scarecrow is enjoying his first day on Old MacDonald’s Farm and loves meeting all of the colourful characters that live there. When a mystery unfolds on the farm, can you help Scarecrow find out what’s going on?

Have you been missing Bridesmaids’ Becky? Worry no more! Because bonkers Becky from the smash hit, ‘Bridesmaids of Northern Ireland’ is back - and this time it’s SHE who is getting married!

Alongside her little sister Katie and her Mum Sally, Becky heads to Ibiza for her ‘away hen’. Between meeting every ex Becky’s ever dated, being put through their paces by a ‘beefy’ Scottish aerobics instructor and spending the night banged up abroad, Becky’s ‘Hen Do’ inevitably gets wild.

To top it all, Becky and her sister learn that their mum never had the chance to have her own Hen Do and conspire to give their Mum the time of her life.

Expect glowsticks, cocktails, banging tunes and loads of chaos, as our gang celebrate dysfunctional family relationships and free tequila on this roller-coaster of a Hen Do.

Written by Diona Doherty, ‘The Hen do’ is her much anticipated follow-up to Bridesmaids of Northern Ireland.
