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

February 14, 2019 By Sandra

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

February 3, 2019 By Sandra

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.

Spring 2019 production – Hobson’s Choice

December 29, 2018 By Sandra

The Barony Players’ Spring 2019 production will be ‘Hobson’s Choice’, a Lancashire Comedy by Harold Brighouse directed by Tom Keeble. It is set in Salford, Lancashire in 1880 and is a focused, comedic exploration of the changing status and expectations of women within late-Victorian society.

Prosperous Salford bootmaker Henry Hobson is a widower with three daughters. It’s 1880, change is in the air and Hobson, a man who stands for middle-class Victorian values, doesn’t like it one bit when his daughters – who work unwaged for him in the shop and do all the housework – get what he calls “uppity”.

Younger daughters Vickey and Alice have beaus they would like to marry, but Hobson is too mean to give them the dowry they need, and he has no intention of letting his eldest daughter, Maggie, slip through his fingers. He might call her an “old maid”, but even the lightly sozzled Hobson knows she’s the real brains behind the business. But Maggie has other ideas for her future and they include bootmaker Willie Mossop, who may lack education and confidence but knows how to turn out a fine pair of boots fit for the carriage trade.

Auditions will be held on Sunday 6th January from 12 noon – 4pm.
