⭐ BARN THEATRE TO REOPEN FOR LIVE INDOOR PERFORMANCES WITH PRODUCTION OF MICHAEL MORPURGO’S PRIVATE PEACEFUL ⭐
The Barn Theatre has announced today that they will re-open for live indoor theatre performances on 10th September, with the transfer of Private Peaceful.
The production will run in the main auditorium following the production’s acclaimed sell out run at the theatre’s first outdoor theatre festival, BarnFest, in August.
The theatre has implemented changes to ensure audience safety throughout their experience. The theatre will run at a reduced capacity with Perspex screens being placed between groups with a new seating layout to ensure social distancing and have implemented a new and upgraded air filtration system which exceeds governing guidelines. The cast and creative team will also adhere to Government guidance on social distancing and temperature checks.
The safety measures that were successfully utilised during BarnFest – the theatre’s outdoor theatre festival – including temperature checks on arrival, mandatory masks for all patrons over 11 years old, staggered arrival times, sanitisation of public areas and hand sanitiser at entrance and exit points will continue for indoor theatrical performances.
Based on the modern classic by Michael Morpurgo (War Horse), Private Peaceful tells the story of Tommo Peaceful as he reflects upon the events that made him the person he is now, from first love to fighting on the battlefield alongside his brother. Set against the backdrop of World War One, the intimate production
Private Peaceful will star Emily Costello & James Demaine and will feature sound design by Harry Smith, lighting design by Sam Rowcliffe-Tanner and be directed by Alexander Knott with Zöe Grain as associate director and movement director.
