Theatrical Experience/Training:
Barry studied at the East
15 School of Acting - founded on the principles of Joan Littlewood -
acted at the college’s own theatre, The Harry H. Corbett Theatre,
Loughton, and became a professional actor, appearing in repertory in
Scotland and the North, and appearing on television dozens of times.
Gradually, however, he drifted out of the profession and became a local
government officer and resumed his amateur work, acting in and directing
literally 100's of plays in his loal area. Always a writer, with two
volumes of poetry to his name, Endymion Rampant & These Little
Songs, he started concentrating on his first love, play writing. His
short drama, Partly Furnished, won the O.Z. Whitbread Award at
the Dublin Theatre Festival, and was premiered at the Eblana there to
the tradition ‘rave reviews’. Much later the play was put on at the
Leicester Haymarket. His play The Amazing Dancing Bear first
appeared at the Questors Theatre, Ealing and went on to win an award for
the Bristol Old Vic New Plays Contest. His work has been performed all
round the world, including South Africa, South America, Australia and
Peru, but he still hankers for an old-fashioned West End appearance, as
was achieved by his old writing partner Alistair Foote with Uproar In
The House and No Sex, Please - We’re British. He belongs to
several Northampton drama companies and premiered his latest piece, The
Evadne Trilogy, with one of them in 2000, when he played the female
lead and got into the National newspapers and television for foolishly
gluing his eyes together with false eyelashes and superglue and having
to be rushed from stage to hospital!!
