COVID-19 Update

April 23, 2020 By Sandra

Theatre closure

As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread throughout the communities where we live and work, in order to continue to help protect the health and safety of our members, volunteers and audiences we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close The Barony Theatre and stop all rehearsals, our Youth Theatre, the Barony Film Society and any other external bookings for the foreseeable future.

We were very much looking forward to bringing you the hilarious stage production of Whisky Galore in May, but in line with theatres across the country, we have now made the decision to postpone this production until May 2021.

We will continue to monitor the guidance from the Scottish Government and will re-open as soon as it is safe to do so.

If you have any questions then please contact us on info@thebaronyplayers.co.uk

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
