The Barn Theatre may be closed due to the latest lockdown but it has not stopped the award winning venue hitting the headlines the other side of the Atlantic.

The Cirencester theatre, the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield and the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich teamed up to produce a digital version of What A Carve Up! Which has gone onto be acknowledged as the Critics Pick for the New York Times.

Clarke as Kim Bolton, Alfred Enoch as Raymond Owen, Rebecca Front as Hilary Winshaw, Stephen Fry as Patrick Mills, Celia Imrie as Joan Simpson, Sir Derek Jacobi as Findlay Onyx, Griff Rhys Jones as John Stephens, Dervla Kirwan as the Brunwin Advert and Tamzin Outhwaite as Interviewer 2020.

“"We couldn't be prouder to be a part of What a Carve Up!" said Iwan Lewis, CEO and artistic director of the Barn Theatre.

"We teamed up with these two outstanding theatres towards the end of the first lockdown to work on a digital production whilst we were unsure of when the doors to our venues would reopen and it took off from there.

"To see such a demand for digital theatrical content has been wonderful and to know that we can not only bring theatre to our local communities but now also those as far as New York"
