Partisan Productions Presents: Weird Belfast: A Cautionary Musical
‘Ach, sure it’s grand… Guignol.’
Weird Belfast is a riotous cabaret plunge into the city’s strangest true tales and darkest urban myths. Blending grisly Grand Guignol thrills with wicked humour, it revels in Belfast’s love of the uncanny – where folklore, reason, radical ideas and sheer absurdity collide.
A music hall comedy, with a cast of eccentrics – “real characters” – delivering macabre songs and chaotic turns, dredged from old yellow newspapers. Murders! Babysnatchers! Ghosts! And Psychics! Beneath the blood-spattered laughter lies a celebration of our shared heritage: the stories we tell, the rumours we cherish, and the gloriously odd identity that binds Belfast together.
Based on Weird Belfast: A Miscellany, Almanack, and Companion
