Great theatre has the capacity to touch our lives in extraordinary ways and for over forty years the Lyric has been an indispensable part of Northern Ireland's cultural life - empowering, inspiring, engaging and entertaining. During my early career this theatre was like a beacon of light and hope six nights a week, doing everything from Shakespeare to Yeats to O’Casey with a group of actors and actresses that affected me very deeply and still do.
Tragically, the physical deterioration of the existing building has become acute at a time when its services are most needed - redevelopment is our only chance of survival.
That is why I urgently require your support in raising the funds to build a new theatre and secure the brightest possible future for this great cultural institution.
Together we can write the next exciting chapter in one of our greatest success stories and create a lasting legacy for future generations. You will be investing not only in a new building, but in building a new Belfast.
Thank you for your support.
