Pick 'n' Mix

Over the weekend of 18th-20th May, Bruiser was delighted to continue its 10th Anniversary year with an exciting preview as part of The Pick & Mix Theatre Festival at Belfast's Old Museum Arts Centre, along with 11 other Northern Irish theatre companies!

The Pick & Mix programme described Bruiser's performance as follows:

Open your minds and join us on a fantastic journey of the imagination! Bruiser Theatre Company presents a sneak preview of its Spring 2008 touring production - Voltaire's 'Candide' adapted by Jo Mangan and Tom Swift, directed by Lisa May. Part rehearsed reading, part staged performance, this lively and funny extract from the final production will feature two of the cast of Bruiser's recent hit, 'The Canterbury Tales' - Patrick J. O'Reilly and Sarah Lyle, joined by performers new to Bruiser - Stephen Beggs, Doireann McKenna, Ross Anderson, Dearbhail Carr and Marie Irvine. The seven actors will play a diverse range of characters - Kings, Queens, Prime Ministers, Sheep, Executioners and Monkeys to name a few! 'Candide' opens a colourful storybook for audiences as our eponymous hero sets off in search of his sweetheart. Hold on to your hats!
