May sees the opening of the award-winning Barn Theatre’s third production with a Noel Coward classic and arguably one of his best works, PRIVATE LIVES.
The story centres around a divorced couple who, while honeymooning with their new spouses, discover they are staying in adjacent rooms at the same hotel with a shared terrace with the added complication that they still have feelings for each other.
This hilariously humorous comedy is directed by an audience favourite at the Barn, BRYAN HODGSON who also directed previous crowd pleasers, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST and 2022’s massively funny hit, the production of MURDER FOR TWO.
The cast of five, is played by Lucy Dixon, best known for playing the role of Danielle Harker in the BBC series Waterloo Road, will play the role of Amanda, and Poppy Gilbert, best known for playing Barbie in the Netflix series Stay Close, will make her stage debut in the role of Sibyl.
They will be joined by David Alwyn (Journey’s End) as Victor, Emily Attridge-Cox (professional debut) as Louise and Ricky Oakley (Magic Goes Wrong) as Elyot.
Joining Hodgson on the creative team are Alfie Heywood (The True Adventures of Marian and Robin Hood) as Set and Costume Designer, Alex Musgraves (The Sleeping Sword) as Lighting Designer and Sam Glossop (Around the World in Eighty Days) as Sound Designer.
Described as “wonderfully wicked and beautifully funny,” this production is sure to be a real crowd pleaser.
