Passions - the Life of JS Bach

February 26th - March 2nd

A riveting dramatization of the life of the greatest of all composers, Passions charts the development of one of the most extraordinary individuals in Western Music. Seated amidst a concert of his own incomparable music, Passions is a hilarious, fascinating, and deeply moving ramble through a life full of joy, confusion, tragedy, and triumph, and leaves its audiences with a shimmering picture of one of the world’s most indispensable artists.

The drama will be elevated by the pianistic brilliance of the incomparable Jayson Gillham.

Don Juan: The Brilliant Irreverence of Lord Byron

Tama Matheson returns to Barnes with the thrilling, irreverent, poignant, and hilarious life of one the greatest personalities of the Romantic era: Lord Byron, as refracted through his hilarious autobiographical poem, Don Juan. Bursting with wit and originality, this play shows Byron at his most abundant: dazzling, passionate, and outrageous. It is as edifying as it is funny.

Set to a variety of music of his day, including the wonderful, and near-unknown music of Montgeroult - performed by pianist Clare Hammond - Don Juan is a most unexpected and thrilling biographical voyage.

Mike & Leo : the Artist in Residence Showcase

Florence 1505.  

The two greatest artists the world has ever seen, Leonardo and Michelangelo, are commissioned to paint vast battle scenes on opposite walls of a chamber in the Palazzo Vecchio – at the same time.  

They do not get on.  

In Leo and Mike their extraordinary rivalry comes to life before us.  

What might have passed between them? What might they have said? And what would it be like to be a fly on the wall while these two incomparable geniuses lock horns and try to settle their differences?  

Leo and Mike plunges us into a world of hilarious and titanic contention, out of which Mona Lisas, statues of David, Vitruvian Men, and Sistine Chapel ceilings fall almost as if by accident. 

A fascinating romp through the mind of genius and the world of art, Leo and Mike will delight all lovers of art and comedy.
