Buy Your Tickets Now!
Ticket sales are now open for our June production: Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.
This endearing play by Terrence McNally follows the tender journey of two souls meeting for a night of fiery passion, but expect a return to loneliness. As desire turns into the possibility of love, they realise that true connection means being unafraid of allowing themselves to be seen for who they really are.
"We are thrilled to bring this original production of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune to the Brussels stage. The Bridge Theatre is dedicated to presenting compelling and thought-provoking works of theatre and Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune is a play with a lot of contemporary resonance. In a world where many are still processing the aftermath of the pandemic, overwhelmed by the use of technology, and increasingly politically polarised, alienation and difficulty to connect with others is a global issue. As such, I believe our production will resonate deeply with our audiences and spark meaningful conversations about love, loneliness, and the human experience in a modern world."
- Edward McMillan, Artistic Director of The Bridge Theatre
The production will be directed by Robert Chevara, a highly acclaimed Berlin-based director who is returning to work with The Bridge Theatre for the second time, having directed Vincent River by Phillip Ridley in 2021.
