Christmas with Steptoe and Son – 11th November 2019

By

The Barony Theatre is delighted to be hosting Hambledon Productions as part of their UK Christmas Tour of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson’s
“Christmas with Steptoe and Son”.

Adapted by John Hewer

Christmas simply wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to 23 Oil Drum Lane to catch up with the nation’s favourite rag-and-bone-men and indulge in some classic, festive misadventures!
Albert and Harold – united by blood, divided over everything else – seem doomed to spend Christmas in each other’s company. But Harold has his flights of fancy… including a flight, he fancies abroad or to throw the biggest Christmas party London’s ever had to offer! His “dzirty old man” Albert, of course, has other ideas… Who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas as Mrs Boxwood’s B&B in Bognor Regis anyway??
These much-loved episodes of classic comedy from Ray Galton and Alan Simpson have been freshly adapted for the stage and are presented by Hambledon Productions – the company behind the recent sell-out successes’ “Just Like That! The Tommy Cooper Show” and “Steptoe and Son”.

Tickets are £12 and are now available to book on our Online Box Office or by phone on 07541 346639.

We would advise you book early – we only have 122 seats available for this one-off performance and they are selling fast.

Hippodrome Silent Film Festival @ The Barony – Hound of the Baskervilles

By

The Barony Theatre is honoured to once again be hosting the Hippodrome Silent Film Festival 2019 in their first film showing, The Hound of The Baskervilles.

With an introduction from Barry Young, The Scotland Yard Jack-in-Office of the Sherlock Holmes Society of Scotland.

Plus a short live performance of scenes from Ken Ludwig’s murderously funny Holmes-inspired play The Game’s Afoot presented by our hosts the Barony Players.

The world’s most popular detective brought thrillingly to life in this most famous of all Conan Doyle’s stories, now restored and given its UK premiere at HippFest. An atmosphere of Saturday matinee entertainment runs throughout, with secret passages, spooky suits of armour, and a dastardly villain creeping about the shadowy ancestral Baskerville home and foggy moors. This, the last Sherlock Holmes film of the silent era, has itself been the subject of mystery and intrigue, the nitrate original being stored (some say hidden) in a Polish priest’s basement for decades.

In this enjoyable incarnation Holmes bears some of the hallmarks we have come to expect: arrogance, a deerstalker hat and a disdainful but fond relationship with his Watson.

Dir. Richard Oswald | Germany | 1929 | N/C PG | b&w | English intertitles | 1h 5m (+ short accompanied by Stephen Gellatly + Barony Players short performance). With: Carlyle Blackwell, George Saroff, Fritz Rasp

Performing live: Mike Nolan (piano)

Restoration and screening material courtesy of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival & the Filmoteka Narodowa – Instytut Audiowizualny.

Tickets £10 / £8 – Booking online here

Barony Pop-Up Charity Shop 2019

By

The Barony Pop-up charity shop is our biggest fundraising event of the year and will be open for business again in March 2019. For 5 days we will be trading at 71 La Porte Precinct, Grangemouth selling lots of generous donations from our supporters.

This is always a fun week for our volunteers – hard work but very rewarding.

You can help in a few ways:

  • Donate unwanted items to us to sell in the shop. They can be dropped off at the theatre or brought to the shop over the weekend of 23rd/24th March.
  • Volunteer to work a shift or two ( or more if you want!) at the shop. Shifts are 8:45am – 12:30 and 12:30 – 4:00pm. 
  • Help with the set up of the shop from Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th March or the clear out on Saturday 3oth / Sunday 31st March – any help is much appreciated especially if you have cars with big boots to transport items back and forth.
  • Come along and visit the shop – we really have some great bargains available. Spread the word and tell all your friends about it.
