ART is a phenomenon and one of the most successful plays ever.

The all-star cast features BAFTA nominated Nigel Havers (Downton Abbey, Chariots of Fire),Olivier Award-winning Denis Lawson (Bleak House, New Tricks) and British Comedy Award- winning Stephen Tompkinson (The Split, Wild at Heart, Ballykissangel)

- Art runs from Monday, March 18 to Saturday, March 23.
