Barndance by Mike Bartlett

Barndance, a new play by Mike Bartlett written especially for the village, was performed in the barn at Small’s House, Mackney on 16, 17, 18 June.    It was hugely enjoyed.   The quality of the writing, acting and venue was superb and it was funny and moving at the same time.    The performances raised just over £3000 for Brightwell Supporting Refugees.  Very well done to all.
