The cast and creative team has been announced for Built By Barn world premiere of Men Behaving Badly: The Play, which plays at the Barn Theatre Cirencester from 30 January – 7 March.
London, 31st December, 1999. Gary’s clinging to his youth, Dorothy’s had enough, Deborah’s got a plan, and Tony’s…still Tony. The world is bracing for Y2K as our favourite foursome prepare for their own Big Day, but when resolutions clash with revelations, the gang might just prove that the real millennium bug… is them. Expect pints, fireworks, and a complete lack of adult supervision as we return to the flatmates where the TV series left off.
From Simon Nye, Men Behaving Badly’s original writer, comes a brand-new stage comedy based on “one of the most successful British comedies of all time” (Telegraph). A night of nostalgic chaos and lager-fuelled honesty — because bad behaviour isn’t just for the telly. Relive the chaos, rewind the tape, and grab your tickets now before the lights go out on the ‘90s!
The cast includes Ross Carswell (Midsummer, Barn Theatre/Mercury Theatre) as Gary, Matt Howdon (The Hungry Years, Customs House) as Tony, Ellie Nunn (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, UK Tour) as Dorothy, Tricia Adele-Turner (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, West End) as Deborah, Neil Jennings (A Shoddy Detective and The Art of Deception, Arts Theatre) as Ken, and Valerie Antwi (Noises Off, Stephen Joseph Theatre) as Eve.
Joining writer Simon Nye and director Joseph O’Malley will be set and costume designer Alfie Heywood, lighting designer Adam Foley, sound designer and composer Amanda Priestley, casting director Marc Frankum, and dialect coach Zoe Littleton.
Barn Theatre’s CEO and Artistic Director Iwan Lewis and Executive Director and Producer Liam McMullan said, “We’re thrilled to announce the brilliant cast of Simon Nye’s new play Men Behaving Badly! Each actor perfectly brings to life the humour, chaos, and charm of Nye’s iconic characters we all know and love. We’re especially delighted to welcome some familiar faces back to the Barn, it’s going to be a joyous celebration of comedy audiences won’t want to miss!”
