A farcical tale of hope and resilience, Beards by HK Ní Shioradáin, with book by Ultan Pringle, is a rollicking new musical comedy premiering this October at The New Theatre and taking us all the way back to the Middle Ages.
“It’s an absolute breath of fresh air and a hoot from start to finish”
To avoid being burnt at the stake for being gay, medieval 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.
“Cracking songs, stirring performances and some first rate singing…impressive levels of musical sophistication… hugely entertaining and irreverent”
— The Arts Review ★★★★
