Murder in the Cathedral (1998)

MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL

Produced for the Belfast Festival at Queen’s (1998), this production was staged at the magnificent St Anne’s Cathedral … despite an horrendous ‘first night’ when every technical malfunction imaginable (lighting, sound, radio mics et al) combined to challenge this innovative production … the ten days of performances proved to be the ‘hot ticket’ of the festival with 98% capacity achieved throughout the run.
