🎂 This week on Robin & Jane In The Stalls we’ve been to a birthday party… and not everyone was celebrating. Robin & Jane headed to Lyric Belfast for Consumed, the razor-sharp new play by Karis Kelly — and what a night it was. A 90th birthday party that no-one seems to want. Four generations of Northern Irish women reunited under one roof. A house full of hungry ghosts… and more than one skeleton in the closet. (And yes — turn off your phones at dinner. 📵) Following a hit tour and a sell-out run during the Edinburgh Fringe, Consumed arrives in Belfast after being named one of Rolling Stone’s “Ten Stand-Out Shows of the Edinburgh Fringe 2025” and winning the Women’s Prize for Playwriting 2022. This pitch-black comedy dives into dysfunctional family dynamics, generational trauma and national boundaries — with biting humour and plenty of uncomfortable laughs. It’s running until 8th March, so there’s still time to book your tickets! Have you seen it? Or are you planning to go?

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? Does Sorkin’s adaptation pack the same punch on tour? And how does this classic story resonate with audiences today?

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