Touring East Anglia February 2027
Barefaced Theatre return in February 2027, touring East Anglia with David Mamet's 'Oleanna'!
A simple meeting between a professor and his student spirals into a confrontation about power, perception, and truth. In David Mamet’s powerful drama Oleanna, conversations quickly escalate into accusations that threaten careers, reputations, and lives. With sharp dialogue and intense performances, Oleanna explores how language, authority, and perspective can collide with devastating consequences. Powerful, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant, Oleanna is a must-see that will leave audiences questioning what they believe long after the curtain falls.
In Spring 2026 we brought Henrik Ibsen's iconic 'Hedda Gabler' to life in a bold, electrifying new adaption!
A tale of ambition, manipulation and the desperate search for freedom, Hedda Gabler remains one of theatre’s most powerful portraits of a woman caught between society’s rules and her own desires. Suffocated by expectation and the quiet tyranny of convention, Hedda burns with intelligence and longing, yet finds herself bound by a life too small for her spirit. Trapped in a prison of her own creation, she turns her wit into a weapon; her games as captivating as they are destructive.
Expect fierce performances, a striking design and the razor-sharp tension that Barefaced Theatre audiences know and love!
