Who hasn’t had an utterly disappointing New Year’s Eve? While yours may have ended without a snog in a half-empty nightclub, it probably doesn’t compare to the New Year’s Eve journey we’ll take you on in JUMP! In this comedy-thriller by Lisa McGee of Derry Girls fame, three “party gals”, a couple of hapless, wannabe gangsters and two strangers struggling to find meaning in life collide in overlapping stories full of heartbreak, shock, and hilariously sharp dialogue. You’re guaranteed a night you’ll remember with more fondness than your last New Year’s Eve!
‘…Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive’
by Selina Fillinger – SOLD OUT
The subtitle pretty much sums it up: seven women managing mayhem, controlling chaos, keeping the world spinning on its axis – or ensuring the spin is right while the world looks the other way. Seven fierce, ambitious women working hard and being smart, cleaning up the mess, and living in the President’s shadow, until they find themselves at the epicenter of a frantic attempt to save face for America – and save POTUS from himself.
The play is about a group of women all affiliated in some way with the White House, one of the most powerful nerve centers in the world. But in the words of the author, it is dedicated to “any woman who’s ever found herself the secondary character in a male farce.”
Please note that the play contains profanity and adult subject matter and is therefore not suitable for children under the age of 16.

The Brussels Shakespeare Society presents Julius Caesar directed by Emily Bowles.
With a few brief exceptions, Rome’s proud boast was that it had been a republic for several hundred years. But the familiar internal strains of Left and Right – the ‘Plebeians’ versus the wealthy ‘Patrician’ families – had always been there. They came to a head in 44 BCE with Caesar, a deeply ambitious Roman general, the darling of his troops and of the Roman populace who had benefited from the spoils of his foreign conquests. It suited him well to be seen in that light, even though he himself was descended from one of Rome’s oldest Patrician families, the Claudian line. Does this seem familiar…?
As the play opens the Senate had just declared him ‘Dictator For Life’ after his last victory, but that title does not have the meaning we would take from it today. It gave him considerable administrative powers but still far from absolute, and was more of an honorific than a reality. As a general he was accustomed to being obeyed without question and saw the Senate as a slow cumbersome inconvenience. In his mind Rome owed him more than empty titles.Thus began the events that would shake the Roman state to its foundations, and shape the future of the whole Mediterranean world including all of Europe for the next 500 years. Indeed the fallout from those events lasts even to the present day. What may seem like the petty internal squabbling of one Italian city-state was in fact one of the most critical ‘hinge points’ in all recorded history!
Shakespeare was no dry dusty historian. This, one of his best-known plays, pins down the human motives, the driving passions of the chief actors in this world-changing drama – and as the centuries pass it never fails to be relevant to audiences. Now is no exception to that. ‘Who shall be master….?’ Like many directors before her, Emily Bowles has re-imagined the setting to provide a context more familiar to a modern audience, but the story’s fast-moving pace, power to excite and to move us remain undiminished.
