Our Most Recent Production

Quartet

by Ronald Harwood

The play is set in a home for retired musicians where just four of the residents are depicted. The bluff, cheerful, randy Wilf always has eyes for the rather fey Cissy, whilst the studious and formal Reg is phased by the arrival of his ex-wife and famous diva, Jean. All were opera singers and are expected to contribute some operatic performance at the home's annual celebration of the birthday of Giuseppe Verdi. How can four seventy year olds be expected to recapture the vocal glory which was once theirs? The characters are revealed with great warmth and humour as they struggle to meet the challenge.

Christmas parties for young and old

After dinner After a very active, (at times almost frenetic), year, members of both the adult and youth companies took time to celebrate together at two separate Christmas parties. The adults chose to take dinner and enjoy each others company in the civilsed setting of a beautiful old country hotel, whilst the youth company revelled in an evening of team games and a buffet.

Bare Bones in a nutshell

We are a not-for-profit touring theatre company that brings high quality, small cast plays to villages and communities in rural Herefordshire.

BareBones is comprised of a small group of experienced actors, directors and craftspeople who are passionate about theatre. Our passion and skills mean that people can enjoy live theatre on their doorstep without the need to travel long distances or spend a lot of money.

We also have a very active youth section with an exciting programme of events that provides young people with the opportunity to develop their communication and theatre skills whilst having a lot of fun mounting their own productions.

Further information about BareBones and the team behind it can be found in the About Us section of our website.

We are always keen to hear from people who are interested in joining us on or behind stage.
