Artistic director of Dublin's Abbey Theatre, Catriona McLaughin, revives J M Synge's rich Irish play at the National Theatre this winter! A stellar Irish cast with a slew of awards and nominations between them leads the performance, with Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, anna Hardwicke (The Sixth Commandment) and Derry Girls' Siobhn McSweeney all featuring in this brilliant classic which was central to the Literary Revival movement in Ireland.

Highly inventive, blackly comic and brimming with 13 original songs, Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell's critically acclaimed musical is finally making its UK premiere this year! Spanning a huge range of emotions, Ride The Cyclone has been lauded by critics for its bold approach to talking about death, and its ability to turn the tone of the show on the head of a pin, between satirical, macabre, tragic, campy and hilarious. Following runs across North America as well as in Australia and Argentina, the musical rolls into the Southwark Playhouse from November - January.
