Our Artistic Director Clive Weatherley will be introducing the Directors for the forthcoming season at the Barn (2024-25).
They will enthuse about their play and entice you to participate either on stage or as a much-valued part of the Creative Team.
The arrival of May means just one thing the announcement of the next Barn season, this time with a bit of a difference. As many of you L❤VE not knowing the details until the Directors Evening (Sunday 11th May at 7pm), here’s a puzzle for you. We’re keeping the show titles and authors under wraps and have just included the briefest of descriptions below (apart from the Studio short play evenings in October).
Use your theatrical knowledge, and Google probably, to work out the season – or wait until the night of the 11th. It’s up to you!
