What's On at Barons Court Theatre


Double bill of one act dramas plus opportunities to enter the Magic Cavern

Barons Court Theatre is beginning the New Year with a gripping double bill of one-act plays by Arundel Thomas, jointly called Tales of Hard Nights.

The plays are:

GALLOWS MEN: A haunting tale of a young man sentenced to death for treason. The action takes place in his prison cell the night before he faces oblivion. A dramatic piece that explores life, love and death.

THE MEETING SHACK: We travel to Portugal in the grips of the Napoleonic Wars. On a stormy night two lost soldiers meet, can they set aside the differences of nation and politics to survive the storm?

Originally formed in the 1900’s as a music hall troupe, The Olympia Players return with a new, fresh look after 100 years with a cast of young actors and brand new material.

Tales of Hard Nights runs till January 31 from Tuesday to Sunday at 7.45pm and a Meet and Greet Q&A with cast and crew on Wednesday and Thursday after the show.

Tickets cost £12, or £10 concessions.

Call the box office on 020 8932 4747, or book by email. Send details of performance and number of tickets required to londontheatre@gmail.com. Then pay for them, in cash, when you come to the performance.

Also continuing this month and next is the Magic Cavern.

Richard Leigh opened at The Barons Court Theatre with 'The Magic Cavern' in 2002 and it has since become London's longest running weekly theatrical magic show with over 1000 performances.

You won't believe your eyes as you witness the seemingly impossible. Wherever you sit in this atmospheric venue, you are only a few feet away from the magic which happens literally under your very eyes. This show is interactive and suitable for all the family, from six to 106!

For birthdays or other celebrations of any age, should you wish to nominate someone in your group to help with one of the many effects in the show please give names to the box office when you arrive at the theatre or email Richard in advance at richardleigh@falseimpressions.co.uk.
