Currently showing A Christmas Carol, The Barn Theatre have announced their first shows of 2026. The season will kick off with the world premiere stage adaptation of “one of the most successful British comedies of all time” (Telegraph), Men Behaving Badly.
Written by Simon Nye, the sitcom’s original writer, the play joins the flatmates where the TV series left off. On New Year’s Eve 1999, the world is bracing for Y2K as the favourite foursome prepare for their own Big Day, but when resolutions clash with revelations, the gang might just prove that the real millennium bug … is them.
Men Behaving Badly: The Play will play at the Barn 30th January – 7th March 2026.
Later in the year, the Barn will present a new festive production of Honk! Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling, this Olivier Award-winning musical has been performed over 8,000 times worldwide, but the Barn’s 2026 revival refreshes the music and spirit of Honk! reimagining Ugly’s journey of belonging and self-discovery for a new generation of family audiences.
Honk! will play at the Barn 21st November 2026 – 3rd January 2027.
Artistic Director Iwan Lewis said, “our mission is clearer than ever – to build work on our small stage in Cirencester and share it on the biggest stages around the world. To open the season with Simon Nye’s brand-new Men Behaving Badly: The Play and then welcome families back at Christmas for a big musical treat with Stiles and Drewe’s Honk! feels like the perfect statement of intent.”
