Wilde Stages, Dublin’s Queer Theatre Festival

This event has ended

Various Locations, Sunday 3rd May - Saturday 16th May

The Wilde Stages Festival (formerly the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival) is an annual event, celebrating the contribution of LGBTQIA+ people to the theatre, past and present.

The Festival was founded in 2004 to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Oscar Wilde, in his native city. With an emphasis on new or recent international and Irish works with a broadly LGBTQ+ theme or relevance, the Festival has grown to become the largest event of its type in the world.

The Festival creates new opportunities for visibility and affirmation for existing and emerging gay artists and theatrical works. The Festival’s criteria for inclusion into the programme are broadly interpreted to include works by LGBTQ+ writers, works that have an LGBTQ+ relevance or theme, or works that include either a performance or another artistic contribution by LGBTQ+ people.

Participation and attendance is open to all who wish to witness and acknowledge the immense contribution of LGBTQ+ people to theatre in all its forms.

Bewley's Cafe Theatre

Life hasn’t turned out the way Margaret dreamed. Lonely as hell in a house that won’t sell, no hubby, no kids and a deathly boring job... So tonight, she’s got a playdate with a bottle of Rose and bowl of pink pills. But her romance with death is rudely interrupted by an intruder, a snoop and a policeman. Nuala McKeever, Belfast’s Queen of Comedy, delivers a poignant, hilarious, disastrous cocktail that’s to die for about the resilience of the human heart in the face of... well, just about everything that can go wrong in our crazy modern lives.
