On 11th November 1976, a devastating fire at Malone House in South Belfast – where the Ulster Museum’s fashion collection was being stored at the time – led to the near-total loss of the original costume and textile collection.

Fifty years on, the Ulster Museum fashion collection stands stronger than ever. A collection reborn through significant acquisitions, a future-proof collecting policy and generous donations, making it one of the most important collections in Western Europe. 

Ashes to Fashion marks this extraordinary milestone with a stunning showcase of fashion from the eighteenth century to today, from historic garments to contemporary pieces by Chanel and Versace.

In the summer of 1971, Marie-Claire, 16 years old, becomes pregnant. Although it is a crime punishable by law, she does not want to keep the child. She wants an abortion. Her mother, Michèle and other women Lucette, Renée and Micheline are doing everything they can to help her. The “back-street abortion” goes wrong… Autumn 1972. All of the women are indicted. A certain lawyer, Gisèle Halimi, will orchestrate this trial, the Bobigny trial. Their courage helped to write the next phase of the history of women in France.

« Ce procès revit par la grâce d’un spectacle à la fois joyeux et grave, engagé et réjouissant. (…) Vif, rythmé, drôle, loin d’une pièce à thèse, le spectacle traverse la grande Histoire par la petite. (…) La salle se lève en criant « Bravo! » ». – ELLE

« Barbara Lamballais et Karina Testa s’emparent du Procès de Bobigny et proposent au Splendid une pièce délicieusement incarnée, résolument touchante. (…) On découvre les parcours de ces six femmes, interprétées par six comédiennes admirables (…). » – La Terrasse

The yaear is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological changes, scientific mastery and media innovation. But poised between traditional beliefs, the threat of the unknown and the shock of the new world, an altogether darker fear is emerging. As a new shadow looms large over England, a small group of young men and women, led by Professor Van Helsing, are plunged into an epic struggle for survival.

From the city of London, through provincial England, to the mountainous wastes of Transylvania, Bram Stoker’s timeless gothic thriller embodies the struggle to break taboos, resist temptation and stop the unknown outside becoming the enemy within.

Adapted by Nick Lane, this brilliant, theatrical treatment of Bram Stoker’s adventure blends Victorian Gothic with the contemporary, showcasing Blackeyed Theatre’s trademark ensemble performance style and featuring a haunting soundscape, powerful performances and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.
