Kabosh Theatre Company

Kabosh Theatre Company Kabosh produces provocative theatre that transforms our understanding of who and where we are, through giving voice to site, space and people.

Founded in 1994, Kabosh is an independent, multi-award-winning, Belfast-based theatre company. Committed to challenging the notion of what theatre is and where it takes place, it is the only site-specific theatre company in Northern Ireland.

History whispered her name.
This show says it out loud. ✨

🚶‍♀️ Step into Mary Ann, The Forgotten Sister — a theatrical walking tour that proves you don’t need centre stage to change a city.

Revolutionary, feminist, businesswoman… basically an overachiever before it was trendy 🙃

Oh, and she helped shape Belfast — but history almost left her on read.

Expect:
✨ Big ideas
✨ Bigger opinions
✨ A lot of walking (she was busy for 96 years, to be fair)

It’s powerful, moving… and yes, we promise a few laughs along the way too.

📍 From Clifton Cemetery to Clifton House
🎭 Part history lesson, part theatre, part “how did we not know about her sooner?”

⏳ Only 4 more days to catch this show.

Come and meet the woman who history almost forgot,
but Belfast never really did.

🎭 EVER HEARD OF MARY ANN?
No? Exactly.
She’s the forgotten sister.
The one history politely ghosted.
And now she’s back — with opinions. Lots of them.

Meet Mary Ann McCracken.
History remembers her as “the beloved sister” - but this show would like a word.
✨ She did not sit at home and weep.
✨ She did not fade into the background.
✨ She “shone. Outshone. Out‑lived them all.”

Expect wit, humanity and feminist fury from a woman you’ll wish would have been in the textbooks.

🔥 “If I see an injustice, I cannot stop to take breath. I must act.”

Come for the history you weren’t taught.
Stay for the woman Belfast should never have forgotten.
