The Barkway Players

The Barkway Players was founded in 1992 and put on their very first Pantomime on 15-16 January 1993.  We always write our own scripts and although these are often based on traditional stories we generally try to deliver an unusual slant.  Emberella was the tale of Cinderella turned around, with a nasty Embers being unkind to her sisters. 

Lots of people of all generations are involved.  Many of the original members still take part but new faces join, either on stage or behind the scenes, each year.  We have a lively and enthusiastic junior cast complementing the seniors.
