FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

A Blaze of Glory

by Clive Wiseman
Directed by Eric Chorley
27th March – 3rd April 1982

Furniture loaned by Woolco of Hatfield

Life could have been so pleasant for Chris, self-confessed genius and author of children’s books if only Caroline, his secretary (among other things) hadn’t decided to blackmail him, if his mother-in-law hadn’t been his publisher, if Arthur, the world’s worst butler, hadn’t refused to mind his own business and if the sculptress (which every good plot needs) hadn’t drunk too much.
