FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

A Penny for a Song

by John Whiting
Directed by Michael McArdle
1st – 8th October 1977
Special Garden Effects by Welwyn Department Store

An hilarious yet thoughful comedy set in a Dorset garden in summer at the time of the Napoleonic invasion scare. John Whiting says that he wrote it “at a time of great personal happiness” and happiness has spilled over into the writing.

A distinguished and original play which provides splendid entertainment. Guaranteed to please.
