Thu, Jul 10, 2025
T5 and Sea Wall are modern plays with traditional, old-fashioned theatrics and storytelling. Stripped down to the bare essentials, they become just a story with an actor and the audience, driven by both the language and plot line from Belfast-born playwright Simon Stephens. The double bill runs at Nun’s Island Theatre from Saturday, July 12 to July 26.
