Barron at the Byre

As if We Ever Were (FDF 2025)

Evelyn gathers an eccentric ensemble of guests to celebrate her engagement to a man she hasn’t seen since childhood – a man who has long forgotten her. As if we Ever Were is a celebration of delusion and a reflection on the impossibility of recapturing the past.

Look Back in Anger

A cramped London apartment, 1956. Look Back in Anger follows three friends struggling to detach themselves from the virulent, narcissistic charm of working-class Jimmy. Cruel beyond reason, his unprompted speeches are impossible to ignore, but they’re just words, right? Later – there’s ironing to be getting on with.

The Parting Glass (a new play)

The Parting Glass opens on NYE 1999 at a party thrown by the affluent Huntley family, where a storm is about to break. Haunted by the night’s events, Caroline retreats into childhood memories, but as the past and party unravel, she finds herself unable to escape.

Byre Theatre

Bloodletting (a new play)

In a modern apocalyptic countryside where nearly the entire population has perished from starvation, Bloodletting follows a small, tight-knit community on the rural Kittery Fields farm. When a single mother and her three daughters arrive as the farm’s crops mysteriously begin to die, sudden tensions of survival reveal conflicted histories between families and threaten their stability.

Arcadia (On the Rocks)

Arcadia is a tragicomic mystery set in two timelines: the 1800s and the early 1990s, both in a lavish drawing room of the Coverly family estate. In the 1800s, tutor Septimus Hodge begins to discover the intellectual genius of his student Thomasina Coverly, while, in the 1990s, academics and Coverly family members compete to uncover the truth of what happened on the estate over a hundred years ago - involving Lord Byron, a secret letter, and a fatal shootout.

The StAge at the Union

Rosencratz & Guilderstern Are Dead

Two hapless minor characters from Hamlet stumble through a world of absurdity, questioning

fate, free will, and their own existence. Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a witty, thought-provoking blend of comedy, tragedy, and existential exploration.

The Cocktail Party

The Cocktail Party follows the lives of a party of civilised London folk as they traverse their own psyches and come to terms with their place in society, from an evening of fun to their psychiatrist appointments.
