Get ready for a rollicking ride back to the Middle Ages with the premiere of “Beards,” a new musical comedy by HK Ní Shioradáin, with a book by Ultan Pringle. This farcical tale of hope and resilience is set to take the stage at The New Theatre from October 29th to November 2nd, 2024.

Produced by LemonSoap Productions, “Beards” tells the story of mediaeval siblings Daryl and Erika, who marry each other’s lovers to avoid being burnt at the stake for being gay1. The plot thickens when one of the lesbians falls pregnant via immaculate conception, leading both couples to navigate their conflicting feelings as they prepare to co-parent the second coming of Christ.

Featuring the musical talents of Domhnall Herdman, Shane McCormick, Tierra Porter, and Orla Scally, this quirky and heartwarming show promises to be a unique exploration of queer families, belonging, and a very special second coming.

Tickets are on sale now for this silly farce with a big heart. Don’t miss your chance to see “Beards” at The New Theatre this October - take your seats.
