Waking the Dead - Graveyard Drama at The Harrison Hotel

This is an emotional rollercoaster-ride through the colourful lives of those buried in the ancient Friar’s Bush graveyard
About this Event

As the autumn nights close in, actor Stephen Beggs will bring the dead back to life and share their stories. This is an emotional rollercoaster-ride through the colourful lives of those buried in the ancient Friar’s Bush graveyard on the Stranmillis Road.

Meet an eclectic cast from our past. An ill-fated Friar, a dodgy Gravedigger, a hapless Frenchman, the 1st Mate of a storm-tossed ship, an inconvenienced Marquis, and his snobby Butler. As it is the Halloween season, a true tale of body-snatching features, and one who lost his life in the Great War is suitably remembered.

These real stories are presented in an imaginative way that will linger in the mind long afterwards. Our venue, The Harrison, Belfast’s quirkiest hotel, adds another level of experience to this show.
