Beneath the polished facade of Hazel Robinson’s pristine home lies a world of fractures and hidden tensions. With her husband Richard on a humanitarian mission to Haiti, Hazel is left to juggle the pressures of a struggling business and her deeply troubled son. Just as Hazel begins to feel the weight of her life closing in, a young and confident nanny, Annie, unexpectedly arrives at the door. But as this poised stranger integrates herself into Hazel’s household, it becomes chillingly clear she isn’t just there to help—and her arrival may upend Hazel’s world in ways she never imagined.

The Lyric Belfast is a playhouse for all.

It’s a creative hub for theatre-making, a safe space for nurturing talent and embodies an unwavering passion for creating meaningful connections through theatre and the arts. We’ve always done things a little differently at the Lyric. From its beginnings in 1951 in the home of our founder Mary O’Malley, to its permanent home on Ridgeway Street in 1968, this special place has been a springboard for internationally acclaimed playwrights, poets and actors. As Northern Ireland’s premiere full-time theatre to produce its own productions from page to stage, we care deeply about maintaining a high-quality, diverse and inclusive programme that captures the imaginations of our audiences, leaving them changed, charged and empowered.

OUR MISSION

We are a shared civic space for artists and audiences alike; a creative hub for theatre-making, nurturing talent and promoting the critical role of the arts in society. Our mission is to create, entertain, and inspire.

OUR VALUES

We are welcoming: The Lyric Theatre is an inclusive and accessible space for all: a creative place to play, learn, question and explore.

We are nurturing: Our goal is to galvanise, and empower artists, whilst nurturing new generations of talent through the Lyric Drama Studio and our Creative Learning and New Writing programmes.

We inspire and entertain: We aim to provide theatre experiences that entertain and inspire; challenging audiences to explore their own and other stories.
