Down Arts Centre offers free seats to groups for a showing of ‘Forever and Ever’ on Friday 26th September 2025
Down Arts Centre in Downpatrick are offering local groups seats for a free performance of Forever & Ever. This powerful new play co-produced by Blue Eagle Productions and New Gate Arts & Culture Centre runs for 70 minutes.
It explores themes of grief, mental health, communication, and the voices we don’t always get to hear.
Set in a mortuary, it follows a final conversation between Jennifer, a mortuary make-up artist, and John, a young man who has taken his own life. Sensitive and thought-provoking, the play is designed to open safe discussions about loss, regret and connection.
Key Details:

· Performances are free of charge as part of the NI wide tour;
· A pre-booking information booklet to share with parents/carers can be accessed here;
