'A Farther shore' @ the grand opera house

Bright Umbrella at Belfast's famous Grand Opera House

'A Farther Shore': A modern retelling of one of the Bible’s most compelling stories - a tale for modern times.

Thursday 5th to Saturday 7th November 2026. Peter. A fisherman from a rural, seaside area. An ordinary man called to do extraordinary things. It is at Joppa where we meet him, waiting to set sail for new adventures, contemplating his recent past and his meetings with a man called Jesus. What did it all mean? And are the recent revelations about Jesus for everyone, or just for a select few?

With Glenn McGivern as Peter, directed by Trevor Gill, and animations by award-winning illustrator Fergus Wachala Kelly, David Campton's modern retelling is brought to life on stage. Tickets £25.00

Bright Umbrella steps out of The Sanctuary Theatre, East Belfast, as its home venue undergoes restoration and development work. During this time, the company will bring its shows to the Grand Opera House Studio.
