At the turn of the 19 th Century, Be l fast ’s theatres were booming . One of the most popu lar spots was the o ld Empi re Theatre, s i tuated then at V ic tor ia
Square. Crowds wou ld en joy the show, then sp i l l out onto Montgomery S t reet . Th i s was where peop le reve l led in what they ’d seen , what they ’d heard . Th i s was where the stor ies of the even ing were
rep layed by the aud ience in the i r own words .
Named in honour of Be l fast ’s dramat ic past and i t s burgeon ing indust ry in f i lm and TV, FX i s a new
kind of res idence wi th performance at i t s core. Everywhere you look, touch , wa lk, whatever ang le you take, i t a l l adds up to someth ing new, exc i t ing
and d i f ferent . Th i s i s a soph i st i cated product ion that makes every aud ience s i t up and take not ice.

Dur ing the i ndus t r ia l revo lu t ion , Be l fas t g rew. I t

to be seen . Jus t ask the hundreds o f mov ie s ta rs who
can be seen wander ing around in between takes ,

landscape tha t i n sp i red so many s to r ies and i s the

I n December 1894 , th i ngs s ta r ted to
look up when The Emp i re Theat re o f
Var ie t ies opened i t s doors i n the o ld
V ic to r ia Square. The open ing year
was so success fu l tha t the theat re
had to expand the i r g rand ha l l to
keep up w i th t i cket demands . Over
the nex t seventy years The Emp i re
saw s tars such as Char l i e Chap l i n ,
Har ry Lauder, Kenn Dodd , Ger t ie
G i tama and Be l fas t ’s own Wi l l i e
Ashcroft .
Surv iv ing on t rad i t ion a lone, the
Empi re Theatre s tayed open unt i l the
1960 ’s - jus t a few years after the
te lev i s ion was invented and found i t s
way into most peop le’s l i v ing rooms.
The pass ion o f the per formers and
the owners was so s t rong , they
managed to keep i t open longer than
any other theat re o f a s im i la r age.
“ I t ’s hard to v i sua l i se what V ic to r ia

Before it found its current home, The Belfast Empire was located in the heart
of the city. Every night audiences spilled out onto Montgomery Street, creating
excitement and activity. It was special. FX

Back when Be l fas t was ju s t beg inn ing to

got up, read , p layed or p rayed and some
