Theatre: Beards at the New Theatre

Here ye, Queer ye! Fresh off their 5-star smash hit Boyfriends, LemonSoap Productions presents their production, Beards!

A farcical tale of hope and resilience, Beards by HK Ní Shioradáin is a rollicking new musical comedy premiering this autumn at The New Theatre and taking us all the way back to the Middle Ages.

To avoid being burnt at the stake for being gay, mediaeval siblings Daryl and Erika marry each other’s lovers. When one of the lesbians falls pregnant via immaculate conception, both couples must battle their own conflicting feelings as they soon find out that they are about to co-parent the second coming of Christ. LemonSoap Productions presents this weird and wacky exploration of queer families, belonging, and a very special second coming.

Beards runs from Tuesday 29 October until Sunday 2 November. Tickets are available at thenewtheatre.com
