Barnsley Sixth Form College Drama and Theatre students are gearing up
for a varied trio of performances at their end-of-year show next month.

The triple-header of performances will include Dario Fo, a comedy
inspired by women, politics and society; Kneehigh, a storytelling-based
production surrounding the stigma of mental health issues; and Antonin
Artaud – Theatre of Cruelty, which is based around the three meanings of
possession.

The show is open to the public and will take place at 7.00pm on Thursday
4 April in the EnRich Auditorium at the Sixth Form, which is on St
Mary’s Place in Barnsley town centre.

Drama and Theatre tutor Shannon Walker said: “The students have worked
exceptionally hard and put all their efforts into producing highly
creative and innovative performances in three very different styles.
Audiences can expect to laugh at Fo, be on the edges of their seats for
Artaud and be drawn into the story of Kneehigh. Everyone is welcome to
come along and immerse themselves in this unique theatre experience.”

Tickets for the show are priced at £1.50 and can be reserved by emailing
Shannon Walker on s.walker@barnsley.ac.uk
