About Commedia of Errors, Lyric Belfast and Pleasance
Rose + Bud is a coming-of-age play set during Derry Freshers' Week, following closeted Bud through a rollercoaster of tequila, tiaras and transitioning, with Rose keeping them on the not-so-straight and narrow. This double-act, produced by Commedia of Errors with support from Lyric Theatre Belfast, blends hilarious comedy with heartfelt and heartbreaking drama about discovering what it means to be yourself — or maybe yourselves. It runs for 60 minutes at Bunker One and carries an age guidance of 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A brand-new play that earns its laughs and its tears in equal measure, Rose + Bud tackles identity and transition with warmth and wit. The double-act at its centre brings real chemistry to a story about finding yourself when the world hasn't caught up yet.
