The Barnes Community Players are bringing this special preview of Abigail's Party to Barnes, before it embarks on a full run at Edinburgh Fringe. The BCP have taken both Ayckbourn and Bennett plays to Edinburgh in 2018 and 2019 and are pleased to have sold out for both runs. Dates for Fringe are listed, incase you are in the area!
Beverly and Laurence are entertaining their new neighbours, Angela and Tony as well as Susan, whose teenage daughter, Abigail is having a party to which Susan has been dis-invited. Over drinks and snacks, cliches and fatuous small talk abound. The tension escalates as the marital strain between both couples surfaces. Susan's anxiety over Abigail's party accelerates as rock music permeate the room. As Beverly and Angela offer some supremely tactless remarks, reality breaks through the smugness when Laurence collapses.....
This is your trial
DATES AND TICKETS COMING SOON
The OSO becomes a courtroom for the BCP’s 'This Is Your Trial'.
When you come to our court, your role is that of a juror. You decide the guilt of those accused. In addition, you may be called to deliver evidence, present a witness statement, or be put on trial yourself!
This Is Your Trial is an interactive and improvised comedy show. You decide your level of participation. If you are facing charges, you’ll be provided with the best legal defence your ticket price can afford!
Have a suggestion?
If you have something to suggest, then please get in touch! We put on plenty of rehearsed readings throughout the year within our membership, and are always looking for new scripts. Plus we’d love to hear more of what you like to see at the theatre!
