Bare Bones Triumphs in County Festival
Bare Bones Theatre Company swept all before them in the Herefordshire County Drama Festival held at Hereford’s Courtyard Theatre last week. Their entry “Duck Variations” by David Mamet was placed first in the festival and carried off the coveted David Garrick cup. They will now go forward to the Western Divisional Final of this nationwide competition and will perform the play again at the Netherton Arts Centre on 8th April.
Bare Bones success did not end there. The two actors in Duck Variations, Dave Baldwin and Howard Jones were jointly awarded the Belmont Best Actor trophy, and its director Margaret Baldwin won the Bill Aston cup as the Best Producer.
The company’s second entry, “The Problem” by A R Gurney carried off The Wye Cup for the third placed production, and Christopher Kear was awarded The Janis Lewer Trophy for the best individual youth performance in the Youth section’s entry, “Our Day Out”, by Willy Russell.
