Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT

Wednesday 07 May

"Rage. Love. Rebellion. Experience the electrifying finale of Bardic Theatre’s 2025 season with American Idiot!"

Brace yourself for a high-octane finale as American Idiot brings Bardic Theatre’s 2025 season to an electrifying close! This explosive, Tony Award-winning rock musical powered by Green Day’s iconic hits follows three restless young men searching for purpose beyond their suburban lives. 
 
American Idiot remains as powerful and relevant as ever, echoing the frustration, division, and disillusionment still gripping America today. With its rebellious spirit and raw energy, the show speaks to a generation questioning authority, fighting for change, and refusing to be silenced. 
 
Three restless friends Johnny, Will, and Tunny desperate to escape their dead-end suburban lives. Johnny and Tunny take a leap of faith, heading to the city in search of purpose, while Will is forced to stay behind when his girlfriend reveals she’s pregnant. In the chaos of urban life, Johnny spirals into drugs and self-destruction under the influence of his dangerous alter ego, St. Jimmy. Meanwhile, Tunny enlists in the military, finding both pain and unexpected love on the battlefield. As their journeys unfold, each must face the consequences of their choices in a world that feels lost and broken.
 
Featuring anthems like Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, and 21 Guns, American Idiot is the ultimate punk-rock sendoff to an unforgettable season! Don't miss it!

THE SNAPPER by Roddy Doyle

Wednesday 26 - Sunday 30 March 2025

“When scandal hits the Rabbitte family, the laughs are as big as the surprises!"

Bardic Theatre is absolutely thrilled to bring you the Northern Ireland Premiere of Roddy Doyle’s uproarious comedy, The Snapper! Brace yourself for a riot of laughter as we dive headfirst into the chaos of the Rabbitte family, where Sharon Rabbitte’s unexpected pregnancy sparks enough gossip to fuel the entire neighbourhood for years.

 The Snapper is part of Roddy Doyle’s iconic Barrytown Trilogy. Set in 1987, this side-splitting comedy offers a vivid snapshot of life in the late 80s, complete with the quirks, humour, and societal norms that defined the era. Doyle masterfully captures the essence of a time when attitudes and dialogue reflected the world as it was, delivering a story that is as thought-provoking as it is hilariously entertaining.

The Snapper doesn’t just deliver laughs, it’s a nostalgic journey into a world where community spirit thrived, gossip travelled faster than the speed of light, and family, for better or worse, was at the heart of everything. A sharp, unfiltered look at 80s life, this timeless comedy will leave audiences laughing, reflecting, and completely charmed.

Get ready for the laughs, the tears, and the craic in a show that proves, once and for all, there’s nothing quite like family, even when they’re driving you up the wall! Don’t miss the feel-good event of the season.  The Rabbitte family proves that no matter the decade, a little chaos and a lot of love never goes out of style!

This production is proudly brought to you by the creative team behind the highly successful, sold-out tour of Jez Butterworth’s The Ferryman 2024.

This production contains strong language and adult themes. Viewer discretion is advised, and it is recommended for audiences aged 15 and over.
