Robin & Jane In The Stalls

This week, Robin & Jane head to The Grand Opera House, Belfast for a sun-soaked (and blood-soaked 👀) mystery — Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile

Robin & Jane are back In The Stalls — and this week they’ve been at Belfast’s Lyric Theatre to catch Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (Lyric Drama Studio Production, running until 2nd May).

Step inside the mind of the visionary eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley as she conjures a story that has captivated audiences for generations. This powerful adaptation by Rona Munro puts Mary at the very centre of the narrative, exploring imagination, responsibility, and the human cost of creation.

Victor Frankenstein’s obsessive quest to create life leads to devastating consequences when he abandons his creation — a being left to navigate a world of rejection, loneliness, and longing. This isn’t just a tale of horror… it’s a deeply human story about identity, isolation, and what it means to be seen.

So, what did Robin & Jane think of this bold new take on a classic?

👀 Was it electrifying or underwhelming?

🎂 This week on Robin & Jane In The Stalls we’ve been to a birthday party… and not everyone was celebrating.

This week, Robin & Jane head to the iconic Grand Opera House in Belfast to catch the powerful UK & Ireland Tour of To Kill a Mockingbird — and it’s running only until 7th March, so there’s still time to grab your tickets!

In this episode, they dive into Aaron Sorkin’s riveting, award-winning stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s seminal novel. A Broadway and West End sensation with star-studded, sell-out seasons on both sides of the Atlantic, this gripping courtroom drama is now touring the UK & Ireland for the very first time.

Set in 1934 Alabama, the story follows principled lawyer Atticus Finch as he strives to teach his children empathy and integrity — values that are truly tested when he takes on a case in a town determined to bury the truth. Inspired by Harper Lee’s own childhood, the novel has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, won the Pulitzer Prize, and remains one of the most discussed (and frequently challenged) books in modern literature.

So what did Robin & Jane think of this fresh touring production?

👉 Tune in now for lively discussion, honest opinions, and plenty of theatrical insight.
