AUTUMN IN MALVERN
As part of its 50th Anniversary Celebrations, Malvern Theatre Players return to the Festival Theatre to perform a play about Barry Jackson: designer, director, manager, writer and co-founder of the first Malvern Festivals. But who was Barry Jackson? How, after so many years, do you capture the truth about a man who was friends with Shaw, Elgar and many famous actors of the time, some of whom are still household names?
In Steve Burford’s original play, one playwright struggles with the problem – and receives help from some unexpected sources …
Finding Barry is a light-hearted journey through the life of this fascinating man, and has been written to give as many members of the Malvern Theatre Players, past and present, a chance to be involved and once again perform on the Festival Theatre stage.
