Footlights presents The Harry Porter Prize-Winning Show...

The Barber Shop by Henry Eliot

11pm, Wed 15th - Sat 18th Mar at the ADC Theatre

The world-famous Cambridge Footlights are proud to present the winner of the Harry Porter Prize, awarded annually to a new comic play. Established four years ago to celebrate the contribtion to Footlights of the Club's Senior Archivist, the Harry Porter Prize gives Cambridge's stickiest comic spiders a chance to spin their web on the ADC stage.

The Barber Shop is a comedy about FRIENDSHIP. LOVE. BETRAYAL. WRITING. OPERA.

A park bench. Hugh tells Henry his life story. Henry joins in.

Our Rossini-obsessed hero has rather too strong an imagination, and as he takes his new friend through his emotional past, things begin to get out of control... There's an over-eager waitress, a Wild West shoot-out, a villainous Mr Darcy, a wedding and an aria. The Harry Porter prize is the annual Footlights award for best new comic writing. Come and be a part of this exciting production that promises laughs, love and a few surprise twists...

"fresh and lively and entertaining" (Michael Frayn, Judge)
