Al Murray returns to Ireland for Galway International Arts Festival. Join Britain’s favourite pub philosopher, Al Murray the Pub Landlord, as he serves up his unique satirical brew of ale-inspired acumen and bar-room buffoonery.   “Wickedly witty stuff” ★★★★ - The Telegraph

Four astronauts and an AI software interface are cooped up in the cabin of a space-craft for nine months on a mission to Mars. As they journey across the vast abyss of space, tensions rise, relationships are tested, seasons of Real Housewives are watched and re-watched. Arriving on the red planet, they confront isolation, sinister ideologies, the prospect of alien life, and a vibe-shift toward corporate authoritarianism. MARS is an opera about space colonisation, reactionary futurism, pronatalism, the madness of hustle culture, and the unsettling futures encroaching on our present. Co-produced with Opéra de Lille. Commissioned by Irish National Opera, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, Klangforum Wien and Opéra de Lille.
