GATEWAY ‘LAUGHEDALOT’ AT SPAMALOT

The group undertook  an outing to see Monty Python’s award winning ‘Spamalot’ in the Grand Opera House, Belfast on Saturday, 21st May 2011.  It was a great day out and more social events are being planned.  As usual the Gateway will continue to ‘Always look on the bright side of life.’ Why not come and join us?

Sam Cree (1928-1980)

Sam Cree, is probably Northern Ireland’s most popular playwright, although no longer with us his comedies are guaranteed to ‘pack them in.’ The Gateway Theatre is regarded as some of the best exponents of his plays and a little known fact is that they did premier one of his plays, ‘Sink or Slim,’ something they are justly proud of. The above picture was taken when Sam visited the cast of ‘Sink or Slim.’
