Forever Is Now (2026) is coming to Portrush Film Theatre Thursday 5th Nov during it's cinema run, so we are a bit excited about that alright! Director Neasa Ní Chianáin brings her latest and very timely documentary to The Playhouse - Portrush:
"With my film 'Forever is Now', I wanted to lift the curtain on how politics works – and understand where politics and climate science meet."

Fascinating evening from The Playhouse this Wed evening.

🚨🔪 ALTERNATIVE ULSTOURS TERROR TALK 🔪🚨

📞☎️ True Crime called and it wants you to hear this fascinating case ☎️📞

We are thrilled to have dark historian Andrew Johnston return to The Playhouse next week to reopen one of the most chilling true crime cases in British and Irish history…

Step into the shadowy world of Dr John Bodkin Adams — Northern Ireland’s own so-called “Angel of Death.”

From his early days in Randalstown, through Coleraine and Belfast, to the wealthy seaside streets of England’s “Costa Geriatrica,” this is the story of a ‘sausage-fingered,’ God-fearing, Rolls-Royce-driving GP whose patients had an unsettling habit of dying… often after rewriting their wills in his favour.

Was he a trusted physician… or a calculating predator?

🔎 Relive the explosive 1957 murder trial
💀 Explore the evidence, the myths, and the unanswered questions
⚖️ Decide for yourself: Britain and Ireland’s worst serial killer?
💀 Discover that he’s buried in Coleraine cemetery . . . . . . say what?!

📅 Wednesday, June 24th
⏰ 7:30pm
🎟️ £10 per ticket

Join us for a gripping night of history, mystery, and dark truth.

📍 Don’t miss out — check in and uncover the case they tried to bury 💀
