Check out new production photos of the Built By Barn World Premiere of Men Behaving Badly: The Play, running at Barn Theatre through Saturday 7 March.

London, 31st December, 1999. Gary’s clinging to his youth, Dorothy’s had enough, Deborah’s got a plan, and Tony’s…still Tony. The world is bracing for Y2K as our favourite foursome prepare for their own Big Day, but when resolutions clash with revelations, the gang might just prove that the real millennium bug… is them. Expect pints, fireworks, and a complete lack of adult supervision as we return to the flatmates where the TV series left off.

Joining writer Simon Nye and director Joseph O’Malley will be Alfie Heywood on set and costume design with Denise Cleal as associate costume designer. On lighting design will be Adam Foley, sound designer and composer will be Amanda Priestley, casting direction from Marc Frankum, dialect coach will be Zoe Littleton.
