Border Pole by Chris Darcy
About the show
Lena Nowakowski is in a pickle. After her move from Poland, all she wants is to settle in to her new house at Pettigo and get on with her work at the meat factory. Trouble is, half the house is in NI and half in the Republic of Ireland. And she's plagued by wazzicks - uppity estate agents, the PSNI, the Guards, the Church (both sides...), her co (non) workers and the local hoods. BUDCo brings you a night of comedy, song and some very swift costume changes in this premier of Chris Darcy's new play. (Warning: there are some Brexit jokes, well - how could there not be?)

Othello irish tour: info & tickets
Othello by William Shakespeare
The Turks are attacking Cyprus and General Othello, ‘The Moor’, is sent with an army by the Venetian Duke to stop their advance. In the claustrophobic atmosphere of a Cypriot military stockade, the psychopathic Iago convinces General Othello that his wife, Desdemona, is having an affair with The Moor’s right-hand man, Captain Cassio. The result is an explosion of mistaken motives, violence and murder. Bright Umbrella Drama Company present a colourful, fast paced production shot through with humour, pathos and tragedy in a modern military setting. The play has much to say to modern audiences in an era of women's' rights, the 'Me Too' movement and challenges posed by racism and a fear of 'otherness'.
