“Gerry Adams has disguised himself as a new-born baby and successfully infiltrated my family home.”

Eric Miller is a Belfast Loyalist. He believes his five-week old granddaughter is Gerry Adams.

His family keep telling him to stop living in the past and fighting old battles that nobody cares about anymore but his cultural heritage is under siege. He must act.

The story of one man struggling with the past and terrified of the future.

“Without prejudice we’re nothing! If we don’t discriminate, we don’t survive!”

Cyprus Avenue is an Abbey Theatre Commission and opened at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin prior to its Royal Court Theatre run. The Abbey Theatre was founded as Ireland’s national theatre, by W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory in 1904 “to bring upon the stage the deeper emotions of Ireland”. Although written more than a hundred years ago, this is still the kernel of what constitutes the artistic imperative for the Abbey Theatre today. The Abbey produces an annual programme of diverse, engaging, innovative Irish and international theatre and invests in and promotes new Irish writers and artists. They do this by placing the writer and theatre-maker at the heart of all they do, commissioning and producing exciting new work and creating discourse and debate on the political, cultural and social issues of the day. Abbey Theatre’s aim is to present great theatre art in a national context so that the stories told on stage have a resonance with artists and audiences alike.

Sky确认旗下的黑色幽默新剧《爱人们》（The Lovers），日前正式在贝尔法斯特开机。本剧来自《福斯特医生》和《纯粹》背后的出品方Drama Republic，找到了许久不在英剧里出现的《性爱后遗症》男主Johnny Flynn与早前领衔了喜剧《清醒时分》（The Dry）的Roisin Gallagher联袂出演。
剧中，Roisin饰演一名超市的工作人员“Janet”，她对包括自己生活在内的一切事物都不关心；而Johnny饰演的“Seamus”，则是一名帅气、以自我为中心、在伦敦和自己的名人女朋友过着完美生活的时政新闻播报员。当两人出乎意料地相遇，立即就产生了冲突——但同时，Janet与Seamus也发现彼此都被对方吸引着。
两人以外，《权力的游戏》“Varys” Conleth Hill将出演“Janet”工作的超市的老板。定于明年开播的本剧将由曾经参与了《德里女孩》编剧工作、活跃于戏剧界的北爱尔兰剧作家David Ireland执笔，Sky介绍这个项目也表示David为剧集带来独特、欢乐、暖心的剧本。

It is a grimly comic play that explores the difficult journey to sobriety. Luka has recently joined Alcoholics Anonymous and is searching for a sponsor. He finds James, an older man who has been in the programme for years. From the outset, James looks like the ideal man to shepherd Luka through each of the twelve steps. However, the road to recovery isn’t that simple, and will force both Luka and James to closely examine their pasts and face their own transgressions.

《戒酒五步曲》由奥利弗奖得主杰克·劳登（《流人》《敦刻尔克》）与艾美奖及英国电影学院奖得主马丁·弗里曼（《霍比特人》《神探夏洛克》）联袂出演，以一种大胆、坦诚，又不失幽默自嘲的态度击穿信仰、秩序背后的伪善面纱，备受好评。
历经多年"匿名戒酒会"十二步疗法后，詹姆斯成为新人卢卡的戒酒导师。两人分享彼此经历，在共鸣中建立友谊，然而当扶助进行到第五步——向他人坦白过错的环节时，詹姆斯的秘密逐渐浮出水面，是拯救还是控制？不平等的人际关系中足以摧毁他们信任的基石。
这部作品由剧作家大卫·艾尔兰（David Ireland）的个人经历展开，芬恩·登·赫托格（Finn den Hertog）执导，2024年在爱丁堡国际艺术节首演后转至西区，其中关于亲密关系、个体信仰、人性弱点的探讨亦引人深思。
