barefaced productions Details
barefaced productions was set up in January 2009 by Sally Grey, Mark Rose and Mark Sands to celebrate British theatre, produce rarely performed ‘hidden gems' and work with London communities to create and devise new work.Every play we produce defines an era in some way. There is a developing theme of theatre 'history' or 'heritage' in our work. Celebrated in our productions, this is also reflected in our community projects, which use theatre to explore the personal history and experiences of local people and their neighbourhood.Inspired by a renaissance of traditional British theatre and film, our aim is to produce high quality and captivating work.Productions In May 2010, we are staging our first hidden gem in John Hopkin's This Story of Yours at the Old Red Lion in Islington. First performed at The Royal Court in 1969 and made as a film titled The Offence in 1974, This Story of Yours is a brilliant, psychological study of an old fashioned copper investigating the disappearance of young girls. The play examines the effect on him of a man he questions in connection with the case. Over the course of an evening, we see him fragment as the conflicts that torture him are brought to the surface.Later in November 2010, we will stage Christopher Isherwood's I am A Camera.This play formed the basis of the musical Cabaret, but focuses on the more intimate, realistic experiences of the central characters against a subtle, underlying theme of rising Nazism, rather than the cabaret club world of the film. The play provides a more loyal interpretation of the semi-autobiographical works of British born writer Christopher Isherwood.
