50 Shades of Red, White & Blue

Tue 13 Aug - Sat 24 Aug 2013

Comedy

Following a completely sold-out run of performances, the smash-hit sensation 50 Shades of Red, White & Blue is coming to the Grand Opera House Belfast!

It all started as a joke when Leesa Harker wrote a Belfast-based spoof of 50 Shades of Grey last summer. Her Facebook posts had Northern Ireland in fits of laughter. Very soon it went viral and Lessa had over 29,000 followers!

Hitting the stage for the first time in January 2013, Maggie Muff, Big Sally Ann and Mr Red White & Blue sold all 9,000 seats.

Due to popular demand, Maggie and her mates are now coming to the Grand Opera House Belfast for a 2 week run. If we were to say that this is a laugh-a-minute evening, we would be telling lies – it’s literally non-stop laughter!

50 Shades of Red, White & Blue tells the story of loveable Maggie Muff and her search for love, featuring laugh-out-loud characters such as big Sally Ann, Sinead the Greener and of course, the mysterious Mr Red White and Blue himself.

Featuring a critically-acclaimed performance from Caroline Curran, 50 Shades Of Red, White & Blue is directed by Martin Lynch, and produced by Martin Lynch and Joe Rea, the team who brought you Dancing Shoes – The George Best Story and A Night With George.

Yes, it’s laughter all the way!
