The Dundonald Liberation Army has announced they are standing for election and want you to cast your votes when they take to the stage of the Grand Opera House later this year.
Following a recent sell-out run at the MAC, the fictional cross-community paramilitary group will present their final saga 'Vote DLA' in June 2023.
Davy, reputed top man of the Dundonald Liberation Army, realises his dream of an independent republic of Dundonald cannot be achieved without a political strategy. And so, The People’s Independence Party (PIP) is born.

However, DLA's second-in-command Horse becomes increasingly resentful of Davy’s lavish new lifestyle as a public servant, with a seemingly bottomless expense account. Horse rejects the DLA’s ceasefire and splinters the movement.
This outrageous comedy is written by Stephen G. Large and produced by Soda Bread Theatre, starring Matthew McElhinney and Matthew Forsythe and will introduce Jo Donnelly to the cast for the first time.
Stephen said: "Vote DLA is the final instalment of the DLA trilogy, and there is no better place to showcase it than the Grand Opera House stage.
"After navigating their way through a global pandemic, Davy and Horse realise their dream of an independent republic of Dundonald will only be achieved with a political strategy.
"We’re also introduced to Horse’s wife and DLA WAG, ‘Suzie Shankill’ for the first time. Vote DLA is, without doubt, the funniest and most outrageous show I’ve written to date."
