YMT Summer Season - Triptych 2014

Current shows


What happens when three young female composers selected from an international competition are invited to write short, original pieces of music theatre, inspired by the work of Belfast's Poet Laureate, Sinéad Morrissey?  How will each composer respond to the questions of genetics, family, past and present raised by the poetry? What new stories will emerge as the writers grapple with the task of creating strong female roles and coherent narratives?
