28 Apr – 30 May
Daniel Brocklebank (below left) is Duncan, and Faye Brookes (below right) is Philippa.
Weeks before his 37th birthday, Philippa’s husband Richard dies – the birthday that the terms of his inheritance required him to be alive and married. In the throes of grief, Philippa hatches a plan: find someone she can pass off as Richard and split the £2million windfall.
The good news is that she’s found Richard’s doppelganger in Duncan. The bad news? Duncan is homeless, shabby and has a broad Scots accent. Can she turn him into a passable version of genteel antiques collector Richard?
What follows is a witty psychological duel where Philippa and Duncan each struggle to get the upper hand, entangling feelings and second guessing intentions.
Can they really trust each other? This slick, psychological treat will have you guessing to the very last line. Because now the con is on, who really has the most to lose?
Written by Rick Elice and Roger Rees. directed by Ryan McBryde.

Barn Bus Project – No One Should Age Alone
As a registered charity, the Barn is on a mission to ensure that no one ages alone. This month they are crowdfunding for their Barn Bus project, an initiative aimed at reducing rural loneliness among older people in our communities via the mental health benefits of the arts and the togetherness of live entertainment.
Just £25 pays for a place on the bus for an isolated older person. Every donation is vital – if five people give £5 they will find a place for a person experiencing loneliness.
Find out more about the crowdfunder on the Barn’s website barntheatre.org.uk
