The Barkway Players were founded in 1992.
We put on our very first Barkway Pantomime on 15-16 January 1993. We write our own scripts, and although these are often based on traditional
stories, we generally try to deliver an unusual slant. For example, Emberella
was the tale of Cinderella turned on its head, with a nasty Embers being
unkind to her sisters. Puss in
Boots Goes West set the ancient folk tale in the Wild West,
Treasure Island set
the action in an exotic holiday resort with some swashbuckling pirates thrown
in; Jock and the Beanstalk gave a Scottish twist to a familiar pantomime,
and Goldilocks, Three Bears and a Dog borrowed from the traditional tale
and set it as an early 20th century “whodunnit”.
In 2007, Hamalot featured a princess, disguised as a knight,
saving the kingdom from evil tyranny.
The 2008 show, Sinbad,
followed Sinbad on his traditional quest to find the fabled Roc bird, but
produced some unusual hazards on the way, including an alarming colony of
shipwrecked beavers.
Sinbad
was the most popular show yet, will every performance not only sold out but
subject to waiting lists for tickets. |

People of all generations are involved.
Many of the original members still take part but we welcome new faces
every year, both on stage and behind the scenes.
We also have a lively and enthusiastic junior cast.
