Riddlestick Theatre’s Barleycorn Opens at The Wardrobe Theatre
Perfect summer theatre at the Old Market theatre this week
Running at The Wardrobe Theatre this week is brand new musical comedy from Riddlestick Theatre – Barleycorn.
Tales of folk intrigue, ‘wyrd’ happenings, English lore, folk horror and inebriated villagers mixed in with a Bristol audience is the perfect August entertainment.
It’s been raining all summer. But that’s not going to stop the residents of Hopley Drew gathering in The Barleycorn Inn for their annual village show and one final knees up before the pub closes its doors for good. As the villagers show off their soggy crops, share songs and tales of local lore, and wait with baited breath for the results of the raffle, a wild storm rages. Some say it’s just typical British weather, but others say it’s something much more sinister… Can this drenched and disenchanted community band together to overcome whatever lurks outside?
Riddlestick Theatre are known for their rambunctious shows, told through traditional story-telling, actor-musicians and a good mix of fact and fiction. Definitely one to watch this week.
