⭐ BARN THEATRE ANNOUNCE NOW OR NEVER BY MATTHEW HARVEY TO RETURN FOR ON-DEMAND DIGITAL RUN ⭐
Due to popular demand, the Barn Theatre have today announced that the world debut production of the British song cycle Now or Never will return for a three week on-demand digital run.
This song cycle, which first debuted as a livestream from the Barn Theatre on the 1st April, marked the first collaboration between The Barn Theatre and associate artist Matthew Harvey. Harvey created the song cycle with the intention of writing about individual responses to global adversity without writing specifically about the pandemic.
The piece features 7 songs with relatable everyday characters as they each take a defiant act of positivity in the face of adversity on what might be their last week on Earth.
The ambitious digital spin presents the work as a non-stop, one-shot, song cycle, with one camera navigating the entire building, featuring 7 characters moving between 7 spaces.
The cast of Now or Never is Eloise Davies, Ahmed Hamad, Matthew Harvey, Irvine Iqbal, Lucy St Louis, Katie Shearman and Courtney Stapleton. The production also features a cameo performance from Olivier Award winner Janie Dee.
Matthew Harvey created the concept and wrote the song cycle. Freddie Tapner is Musical Supervisor and Ryan Carter is Creative Director, who is responsible for the innovative digital approach. Ben Collins as Director of Photography, supported by Ben Thomas & Alex Tabrizi. Harry Smith as Sound Designer.
Tickets for the on-demand run are priced at £5 and can be purchased at barntheatre.org.uk/barn-at-home from 7pm BST on 15th April 2021. Once purchased the customer will gain one-hour access to the production.
Now or Never will be available to stream on-demand from 15th April – 9th May 2021.
