Beards

Here ye, Queer ye! The Beards are BACK!
A farcical tale of hope and resilience, Beards by LemonSoap Productions, is a rollicking new musical comedy, bringing Smock Alley audiences all the way back to the Middle Ages! After our sold out run and rave critical acclaim, don’t miss this limited run this Winter.
To avoid being burnt at the stake for being gay, medieval siblings Daryl and Erika marry each other’s lovers. When one of the lesbians falls pregnant via immaculate conception, both couples must battle their own conflicting feelings as they soon find out that they are about to co-parent the second coming of Christ.
Running from October 29th - November 7th at Smock Alley
“One of the most exciting young companies in Ireland today.”
